Reviews
The authors have poured a lot of themselves, and Cleveland's rich neighborhood history, into these delightful vignettes about the Near West Side. Where else can you browse through one book and discover the paaaaper-rex man, the tinker, Perkins Beach or the Fairyland Theater? You won't find John D. Rockefeller or Marcus Hanna in these pages. But you might recognize a long-lost neighbor from 1950., This book is a 'must read' for anyone who enjoys taking a walk down memory lane. The delightful little vignettes put a human face on many area institutions and shed a new light on many parts of our city we overlook or take for granted.

- v***v (2060)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
