Customer Reviews

DALLAS
This is so not a five star book, not even close. The reviewer below is easily impressed I suppose. This book is interesting on some levels, like seeing how Dallas' skyline has changed, but most of the pictures are so close up, it's hard to get perspective. This author has made quit career out of these very mediocre books, I think he has one for every city in America...frankly, I'm waiting for, Cut and Shoot then and now. These book could have been very good, if the archieval photos had been of more interesting areas and if they had gone a bit out of downtown Dallas, I mean how many pictures can you have of Elm or Main Street. These books arent bad, but my advice is pick them up in the bargin bin if you must, but dont be an idiot and pay full price for THIS.

Dallas Then and Now (Then & Now)
I have to agree with Shannon. I don't know how, with such an interesting idea, this book could be so boring. I had very high hopes because I remember a similar Then and Now book that came out back in the 80s (maybe for the sesqicentennial) that was so well done and covered many areas besides downtown. In this book, the "Then" photos are okay and cover only a short time in Dallas' history (its early years), and the "Now" photos are pretty terrible. This lackluster book contains none of the heart or spirit of Dallas, unfortunately. If you want to see more of what Dallas used to look like, go to the downtown library and check out their photo catalog. You'll get a much better feel for what Dallas used to be like ... and you won't have to spend any money, either.

Awesome buy
Great book for those who are interested in the ever, rapidly-changing skyline of Dallas.
