  • Great "coffee table" book

    It's a great "coffee table" book . All Full page photos. Left pages are archival photos with facing pages full color current photos "mirroring" original. Brief descriptions below each photo - there are well known places as well as wonderful ones "off the beaten path". It is a snapshot depicting the rich heritage, resilience and preservation of Charleston. (I have lived in downtown Charleston 30 years)
