Sometimes aerial photography over cities bores me. It tends to look the same. Not the photos in this book. It's like taking an air cruise over D.C., the cities bordering D.C., and some countryside in Maryland and Virginia. Many featured buildings and parks are understated--I certainly didn't know Mormons built such regal temples. This makes for a great display book for a living room.

great book. I wish I'd read it earlier when I was going to London. I learned a lot.

What a beautiful book, picturing lovely Paris in the 1980s. I noticed that the captions on p. 99 were in French, perhaps a mistake in the printing or collating process.

SF and the surrounding area is one my favorite areas of the country to visit. The various aerial photos provide some very nice views of the city. Excellent book to browse through. Published in the late 60's it is kind of nostalgic.
