A beautiful coffee table book about the city of Brotherly Love! July 29, 2008
Sylviastel (Sayreville, NJ)
This book is clearly more visual and offers insightful and useful information if you are interested in Philadelphia history which is really also American history. The author does an adequate job in focusing on past and present while offering information without drowing it's reader into it. I would have liked to have read more and seen more.

What a little dinky book March 12, 2008
Jerome J. Unglaub (Minneapolis, MN USA)
This is the second book I have ordered in this series that arrived and a little dinky book about 1/3rd the size of the regular coffee table book. How can you even see the details? I won't have this happen again, I will check dimetions before I buy.

City Book January 15, 2008
B. Hines (Cove, TX USA)
This was an interesting book but a little disappointing. I have a book on Charleston,SC. The photos of "then and now" were set up where the site is exact of "then and now". The Philadelphia book takes different angles and misses the true change of the "then and now". It does contain interesting and unusual facts. It is a good coffe table book.

Philadelphia Then and Now November 15, 2003

I sat down on a Sunday morning to casually glance through what I thought was just another coffee table photography book. Several hours later, thoroughly relaxed and enlightened, I closed Philadelphia Then and Now, having deliberately devoured every word, every image, every comparison-both visual and written, cover to cover. What fun it was to go back and forth. The effort taken to capture identical images was evident page after page. The attention to obscure and amusing snippets of historical detail tied the "then" black and white photos and the "now" colorful photos together perfectly.

Treat yourself to a Sunday morning journey to Philadelphia-Then and Now.
