Best on Sacramento-- midtown or otherwiseBy B. J. LewisI collect books on Sacramento. especially covering the 50s and 60s. Midtown is where I grew up and this book is packed with nearly 2 photos per page into that era. It is even better than the pricey Historic Photos of Sac. Read all about it when my expose memoir hits s best seller list.
