Preserving our photographic history is important, and displaying this heritage for the public is a worthy endeavor. This book, like the other titles in this series, does a great job of showcasing my hometown, as other titles in the Images of America series also do with cities and various other subjects across America. These books are worth ten times the price and are the sort of rewarding read that almost anyone, old or young, can enjoy.
Ah, I couldn't stop reading and admiring the photos! What a wonderful return to the great city where I was born and grew up. I haven't lived there since the late 60s, but it will always be my HOME. Some information and pictures were new to me, and others brought back memories of school trips and other wonderful times during my younger days.
The book contained a great deal of interesting history and text that complemented, but did not overwhelm, the photographic content. Very well-written and enjoyable to read.
It was great! Very informative! I love learning about the history of Cincinnati, and this book is great for an overview of everything related to the city.
This book was purchased as a gift for a friend who was born and raised in Cincinnati, and she loved it.
Beautiful book and gave me a nostalgia from our past in Queen city.
