Syracuse Landmarks: An Aia Guide to Downtown and Historic Neighborhoods

Rating:
Summary: For a local history book, it's a respectable effort.
Review: As anyone who has ever tried to track down books on Syracuse's history can tell you, they are few and far between. Mostly, they look like something your 8th grade history teacher photocopied and stapled together. This is a professional effort; the description above mentions that some of the photos are of "indifferent" quaility. Obviously they had never seen previous efforts. This is a nice little book with lots of cool little remembered facts that have been buried by Syracuse's present state of dispare. If you're interested in Syracuse's history, you could do much worse. I personally like this book a lot.

Rating:
Summary: Very very good!
Review: I seriously think this is a great book. It is the only really Syracuse tour book I know. And it has a lot of history. Buy it now!
