I was expecting a book with beautiful photos of Glenwood Cemetery; one of the most attractive places in Houston. Instead the book has few photos; and they are taken by someone who didnt know the first thing about photography. They didnt know to get up close enough to actually read the inscriptions on the headstones; and they didnt know to use a flash. The photos are too dark and taken from too far away. This is the most disappointing book I every purchased. I threw away $40 plus $3.99 shipping. Now I will throw the book away.Reviewers who gave five stars to this book had to be either the author or friends of the author.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Houstons Silent GardenBy LolaThis is a comprehensive history of the most beautiful cemetery in Houston. Glenwood is the final resting place for a diverse cross section of the citys history from some of the citys founding fathers; to actress Gene Tierny; wildcatter Glenn McCarthy; and Howard Hughes. The book breaks down the history of the cemetery in three parts. Part one covers the history behind the cemeterys creation. Part two covers the monuments and sculptures (and they are beautiful). Part three gives biographies of some of the permanent residents of the cemetery. The book is large and would make a great coffee table addition. As a Houstonian I can definitely recommend this book for both its beauty and historical significance for the city.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
