Book Review – Part 1

Last year for our vacation we visited Mrs. Mosquito Eaters sister in Chicago.  As we were sitting in her house one day, she handed me a book on Chicago Architecture that had lots of old photos of famous Chicago buildings and a smattering of history.  My immediate thought was, wow, I wish I had one of these for St. Louis.

Fast forward to today, when what should I find on my desk at work, but a shiny new copy of  Historic Photos Of St. Louis .

I’ve only just thumbed through it, but I like what I see so far; lots of old black and white photos of St. Louis with a smattering of historical context. I’ll bring it home tonight, and let the larvae read it over and give there impressions as well.
