I have two issues with this book of postcards.First, it is very difficult to remove the postcards from the book without tearing them.Even though I was careful, I had ragged edges, and I had to trim several of thecards to a somewhat smaller size.Second, the pictures are not identified.While some are obvious, like the Statue of Liberty,others are not. I have no idea what many of them are.I bought them for www.postcrossing.com, and, for that use,they really do need to be identified.
This is a great collection of vintage New York b/w photos. I have two issues with them, though. First, none of the photo locations are identified. I use these cards for postcrossing.com and it would be nice if the location or significance of the photo were identified. Some are obvious, but others very much NOT so.Second, the binding makes it very difficult to remove cards without tearing the left-hand edge. The staples holding the set together are so close to the perforations that after the first few cards, it's impossible to flex the cards enough to get a clean tear. I finally just ripped off the covers and removed the staples so all the cards are loose.
I bought this postcard book to use for Postcrossing but liked it so much that I bought another copy for my own library. Fun and interesting pictures taken from the New York Times. Every person I have sent these cards to love them. Larger than your average size postcard and printed on sturdy stock. Postcards are easily detachable. Highly recommended.
Classic NYC views in a tear-out book. However, if you intend to mail these postcards, for less money I prefer the shrink-wrapped pack of 30 NYC postcards that will not put you through the high anxiety of tearing them out of a book.They're also cheaper: New Collectible Edition! 30 Various NYC New York Photo Postcards 4x6 Inch is currently $5.99, and it mixes B&W and color.New Collectible Edition! 30 Various NYC New York Photo Postcards 4x6 Inch
