Book Review: 2000 views of the world.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those books that pops up and you wonder why no one had thought of it before. Just flick through it and be amazed at what was issued on the front of a postcard. It could be said, in the broadest sense, that these images do reflect the history of the last century.
With excellent printing and mostly six cards to the page, author Phillips includes a few words about each picture and then he comes up with a neat idea: include the written messages from the sender. So as well as some striking images you get the feelings and observations of 2000 people.
How many books could be opened at any page and the contents immediately grab your interest? This is one of those books. Strangely, the Amazon sample pages don't show any of the year by year pages which make up ninety five percent of this book.
