Bygone Boston
A Postcard Tour of Beantown
By Earl Brechlin with John Bishop (Contributor) 

     Step back in time to a city filled with nostalgia: Boston, a city full of history, visited by millions of tourists each year. In Bygone Boston: A Postcard Tour of Beantown, you will get a rare opportunity to visit this historic city through a vast collection of vividly detailed antique postcards.

     The concept of bringing this majestic to life city in this form is unique and original. These varied postcards use rich colors that project the reader into the scenes. The research conducted to bring together this book together is astonishing. Through these photographs, I could almost feel the salt spray of the sea as I gazed upon the many lighthouses in Boston Harbor.

     Bygone Boston enables me to see a city that has always been high on my best places to visit.  I feel this book is a must-have for any post card enthusiast an excellent souvenir of Boston to treasure. Do yourself a favor, turn to the first page of this book, and take a journey back in time to a place that will touch your heart as few places are capable of doing.
