Baltimore Then and Now®
B**S
Visual treat from residents of Baltimore interested in the history of the city
This book is a collection of old pictures from around Baltimore, each of which is shown on a left-hand page of the book. On the right-hand side of the same page, directly across from the old picture is a new picture of the same scene taken from the same angle as the old picture. The changes in the scence can be compared with as much detail as the reader may wish merely by moving from one point in the old picture to the same location in the new picture without having to flip the pages of the book.I found the book to be interesting even though I am not from Baltimore. However, my wife was born and raised in Baltimore and found this book to be very memorable and intriguing.

Memories light the corner of my eyes.
The book was as described. I'm grateful to have it. You really get to see the changes in Baltimore City. Some places are gone completely and some revamped or in disrepair.Thank you.

My dad was happy to receive it.
I bought this book as a birthday gift for my dad because he was born in Baltimore and spent a portion of his childhood there. He doesn't get to visit often, so I thought he might enjoy reminiscing as he flipped through the pages of this book. It doesn't mean much to me, as I've never been to Baltimore, but my dad seemed happy to have it. The book is well made and has a lot of good pictures and information.

Great Book!
I bought this book to place on our coffee table and I must say that I am VERY pleased! I love the books layout. The "then" and "now" photos are side by side so the pictures are easy to compare and analyze. The descriptions/history blurbs are detailed yet minimal so that you don't lose interest! I would recommend this book to anyone that may be interested in the History of Baltimore!

wunderschön
Ich liebe diese Buchreihe und kaufe mir alle Städte zusammen zu denen ich einen Bezug habe. Mittlerweile befinden sich ca. 15 Bücher in meiner Sammlung und ich finde jedes einzelne Buch wunderschön. Die Bilder von damals und heute, die Erklärungen zu den Bildern, es sind wunderschöne Erinnerungen and die Vergangenheit und an die Reise die man jetzt unternommen hat. Ich kann diese Buchreihe jedem empfehlen, der gerne in Erinnerungen schwelgt und sich auch darüber informieren möchte, wie die Orte früher ausgehen haben. Ich hoffe, dass diese Reihe um noch viele interessante Städte erweitert wird.
