Book Review: San Francisco Earthquake and Fire......
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is good, but more on a "slow to grow on you" scale. I've been to SF., so a lot of the places in the up-date photographs I knew. In that sense, it creates a better impression of the scale of the damage, with the more panoramic studies being (visually) comparable to either Nagasaki or Hiroshima for their almost shock value.
Good Book: Glad I got it !
