Its 128 pages; most pages are one or two photos and a paragraph narrating each one. Its a fun read filled with "Huh! I didnt know that!" moments; and references to things both remembered and forgotten.I already owned an original of this book; signed by Professor OMalley (whose class I enjoyed tremendously). It was promoted through an alumni mailer in 2000.... just after the sad demise of Bradford. When some of us started up a Bradford Class of 1978 page on Facebook; I shared a link which everyone enjoyed. For kicks I ordered a new copy here; which let me do with the proviso; "Well notify you via e-mail when we have an estimated delivery date for this item." Three weeks later I have it in my hands; identical to the original except for a slightly updated masthead. So now theres a new print run and you can buy one for your own bookshelf.I also bought a used copy of the original Bradford: A New England School (.com/gp/product/B0007EPWPW); which is a more academic treatment but interesting in its own right; especially in the context of contemporary events that are part of history.As Pat OMalley signed my copy; "Remember!"Arthur FontaineClass of 1978 (AA)3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Bradford Book: What fun!By skyparlorHow wonderful to see so many images of this academic community before its demise. While Jean Pond wrote a detailed history of the early beginnings of Bradford; Professor OMalley has updated that intimate examination of the College through visual imagery and a number of background comments. Maybe someday someone will write the history with all its juicy gossip...it would probably have to be in fiction form to avoid slander suits!
