Summary: Great souvenir from your trip, or gift for friend or family
Review: PORTLAND OREGON: CITY OF ROSES is 32-page paperback book primarily designed for tourists, or as a gift for family and friends who do not live in Portland and want to see what the City of Roses is all about. It is short on text and large on pictures: postcard style color photographs are on every page, sometimes three or four per page; the first page is a map of Portland. Pictures are divided into ten subsections: "Portland Waterfront - Westside of the Willamette River"; "Downtown Portland"; "East of the Willamette River"; "Sports"; "Rose Festival"; "Rivers of Portland"; "Washington Park"; "Bridges of Portland"; "Nearby Attractions"; "Mount Hood." Dimensions are 10" by 7". It's a beautiful collection of the most stunning sites in the city and surrounding area. I took this book on my trip as an exchange student to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to show my host family where I was from (I was living in Portland at the time), and they were very impressed with Portland's beauty.
