3 comments about Philadelphia Architecture (PA) (Images of America).
- This is a great book, very inclusive of Philadelphia architecture both old and new. I liked the inclusion of "pop" architecture like the Best Buy building in the Northeast. After all, this is a book that covers more than just historic architecture. It was refreshing to see that the writing was not stodgy or academic (yawn). The writing tends towards the clever and poetic; check out the caption headlines under the photographs. This is easily, I think, the best book on Philadelphia architecture to appear in the last 15 years.
- Images of America books depend on their photos for their quality. About half of this book is nice historical photos. But much of it is illustrated with mediocre contemporary snaps. Also, given Philadelphia's high level of architectural splendor, it includes lots of unimpressive modern buildings. Finally, a fair number of mistakes. Worst goof was a photo & caption for one house (Drexel mansion I believe) was completely repeated about 50 pages away from its first appearance.
- This book has some very nice pictures of buildings and streetscapes around the city, covering a broad swath of the city's history. The focus is on the photos, with a short essay introducing the book and captions accompanying each shot. The photographs are good, as is the quality of the book's construction.
The downfall of this work is the writing. Captions read as though they haven't seen even the cursory glance of an editor. Spelling and factual errors plague the short captions. The mistakes were so glaring, frequent and distracting as to detract from the experience of the book.

1 comments about VISIONS OF EDEN: ENVIROMENTALISM, URBAN PLANNING, AND CIT (URBAN LIFE & URBAN LANDSCAPE).
- The book was hard to put down. An indepth history of what happened as people discovered sunny St. Petersburg and moved in. Greed reigned over sensible planning and now people are paying the price for uncontrolled growth and urban blight. Dr. Stephenson did excellent research and shows us that John Nolan was right. The people of St. Petersburg should have listened to him.
