Customer Reviews

A wonderful book.
Great photographic reproductions of wonderful old photos of Philadelphia. This book is a treasure to those interested in architecture, photography and/ or Philadelphia. Highly recommended.

Looking at the Past!
When I bought this book, I was doing research on Philadelphia's past for my own pleasure. This book has beautiful black and white postcards of the city's architecture. The history of the city is told in those photographs. The book is quite useful for those of us who have special interests in Philadelphia or in architecture of the past hundreds of years. The book is well-done and would look great on any coffee table. Not only is it a great read but it is great to be looked and enjoyed by any enthusiast.

good book
The illustrations in this book were most valuable when I was researching my novel, "A Daughter Of Liberty," by Allan Cole & Chris Bunch
