Seattle Then and Now (Then & Now) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book could not have been written by a Seattle native - it simply contains too many errors and ommissions. Several items are mislabeled and the dialog for each picture is vapid.
Additionally, it would not have been that difficult to match the "now" to the "then" photos. Many of the "now" pictures were taken at different angles and with the wrong lens.
A good concept but poorly executed.

Above Seattle. This book has captured Seattle and the places around it, the raw threatening beauty of the Cascade Range and that of the Olympics, the great expanses of water, open fields, the great buildings, the almost blinding greenness (from the air), the tiny ships below, the virgin forests, the lights at night; a city that has fought to preserve itself, a city that has, over the years, paid the price to maintain its own beauty, cleanliness and dignity, a city of which it was once said, "lies well in the arms of the land." Robert Cameron's aerial photographs and text by Emmett Watson makes this a book you'll never want to put down.

It Happened in Seattle: Remarkable Events That Shaped History (It Happened In Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I enjoyed what there was of this book, but it seems to be lacking HUGE things that have happened to Seattle.
What about 2 serial killers of the 80s (Green River/Bundy)? What about Mount Saint Helens? How does the Nisqually quake get in and not St Helens? How does a bus crash get in and not two of the biggest serial killers in history? Is it because they didn't really happen in Seattle, but the surrounding areas?
What about Microsoft and Amazon? How does Starbucks get in and not Microsoft?
I like the layout of the book and I like the attempt of the author - I was just hoping for more.
