Beautiful Historical Celebration of a Great City!By Julie SandersA gorgeous book of well-curated photos depicting Reno during this time period. Its a great way to appreciate the history of the city. Since Im fairly new to Reno; I learned a ton. I especially love that all authors royalties from the sale of the book are being paid directly to the Nevada Historical Society Docent Council (whose collections made the book possible).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
