About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

Preserving America's PastPreserving America's Past by Gene S. Stuart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This has been in my home library for years, and I read the text that accompanies the pictures.
The essays are well-written, and they can be quickly read in order to finish the book over several days or a week. It is not a how-to book with instructions to preserve the history of your town or crafts that have been replaced by factories. The essays are a glimpse into the people who do such preservation.
I recommend reading this book to those who find it has been on their shelf of books published by the National Geographic Society.
