Title: Houston Then & Now (Then and Now Series) by William Dylan Powell ISBN: 1-59223-137-3 Publisher: Thunder Bay Press Pub. Date: November, 2003 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $17.98 |

Summary: Good old pictures, but that's about all
Comment: Although the book is full of great old photos from the Houston Public Library's collection, the new photography is below par and the text often contains errors -- for example, it gives two different death dates for philanthropist George Hermann and misidentifies the founder of Foley's department store.
It's a disappointment that this book could have been a solid, if brief, historic resource, but instead it's just mediocre. And it's especially disappointing to learn that the author is a Houston-based writer who could have verified facts with just a big of legwork.
Buy it for the old photos, but don't quote any of the information.
Rating: 5
Summary: This book is a must have if you care for the city of Houston
Comment: Wondering what to give your friends for the holidays? I plan on giving it to both friends and customers! This coffe table quality book is beautiful and full of interesting stories and photos of Houston as it was long ago compared to how you can observe it today. You will find a combination of humor and nostalgia, beauty and reality: a heart-warming depiction of the Bayou City. I'll read it again and again.
