This is an excellent book that covers its subject admirably. I enjoy flipping through it both for the information and the nostalgia it affords me as someone who is proud to have once lived in the Emerald City.

The problem is that the pages fall out. My particular copy is not bound terribly well - and I am not the type of person who treats books roughly!
Alas, the book is not 'bound' to last.

A fabulous history of Seattle in word and photograph. It is a Who's Who listing those that gave Seattle her flavor and distinguished character. This is a must read and study for all native Seattleites as well as for newly arrived residents. The buildings: commercial, residential and schools show the step by step progress that the city has made through the designs of noted architects. From 1853 to date the book covers Seattle's development. It is a first class read and study.
