This review is from: Weekend Walks in St. Louis and Beyond: 30 Town and Country Walks Within 150 Miles of the City (Paperback)

I think this is a wonderful book that takes you on a walking tour through Standard Addition in Carlinville, IL. I spent a lot of time with Bob while he was writing about Carlinville's unique Sears Homes section. His book takes you from the square and back with restaurants and stop offs and this is just Carlinville. I haven't investigated the other walks in the book yet.

I have two copies and it's not just because I'm talked about and interviewed in the book.

Good job Bob!
