EXCELLENT!By CustomerI bought this book for my 85 year old mom who grew up on Leverett St in the West End. I remember going there as a child too. My mom loved the book...It brought back so many memories for her. The pictures are excellent she read it 2 times before passing it on to a neighbor who found a picture of his mother in it. I highly recommend this book.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. worthy item. medium photo repro qualityBy Gerald SiegelMediocre print quality but better than nothing. One photo of police chief mislabeled. Clearly a fire captain...still worth having in the library. Would love to see these images in higher res on glossy stock though.
