1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. more antique; not so vintageBy beetleI subscribe to the authors Facebook page where the images that are sometimes posted are wonderful vintage postcards of my childhood haunts. Restaurants; bakeries; parks from the 60s and 70s evoke memories of my hometown. I ordered this book as a nostalgic gift for my brother. However; the photographs within are more of the Captain Weber; horse and carriage type; not MY childhood. Its a good historical record; just not what I thought it would be nor what I really wanted.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A homerun for history buffs.By sugar for shellyI have lived in Stockton most of my life but as a transplant I dont know much about the history. This book was beautifully done and interesting. I am planning on purchasing more for family members and friends.The author has just released a book about Yosemite which I will purchase as well.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Stockton in Vintage Postcards; by Alice Van OmmerenBy J. E. HumesWhat a wonderful format for the history of a city! Unlike many histories of small cities; Stockton in Vintage Postcards presents a broad view of the life of the place; and all illustrated. I have lived in Stockton; for thirteen years; and know it to be an economically poor city with an incredible wealth of cultural diversity and history. Reading this book reveals some of that wealth. Its like looking through a family photo album. The postcards can be quirky; full of civic pride; sentimental or just really great slices of real American life. There is so much good information here. As we redevelop; gentrify and suburbanize our cities; its invaluable to have this perspective; these old buildings; neighborhoods and everyday scenes preserved in this accessible form. All I would ask is for is a second edition with even more - and in color.
