I have heard her talk about the FP highlands since I was a kid. I surprised her with it and this means the world to her. The pictures alone are total nostalgia. If anyone in your family or friend had experiences with this; I think it will have that same meaning. My moms face lights up when she talks about it; this is a coffee table book for her0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. what fun What funBy JTwhat funWhat fun!!!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Doug Garner comes throughBy Jim AndrewsA lot of us familiar with Doug Garners expertise have been waiting for years and years for him to finally get to do the book he wanted to do on the Highlands. As expected; hes produced a simply terrific photo book packed with information and details only he would know and that rarity--captions which go beyond just describing the photos to bring them to life and offer rich background information. Its all done with style and verve and for dessert he throws in West End Heights; Suburban Garden; Westlake Park and Chain of Rocks Fun Fair. I have waited all my life to see photos of Suburban Garden; as I grew up a five minute walk from the place; or what little was left of it. Arcadia has come a long way from its early efforts and this book will sell big with anyone who loves St. Louis history; amusement parks; roller coasters or quality bookmaking. Congratulations; Doug!
