I love history. Especially when you tell it to me with photos. I loved this book. I expected it to have photos that I already have in the books that I already own but this was not the case. Thanks for a very good book.

Wonderful Read Down Memory Lane

My husband and I love this book! We enjoy reading it and seeing the photographs. Also, we purchased a second to give as a gift to his sister. Even though she grew up in Roanoke, she has not lived in the Valley for decades. We know she will be delighted to receive it.
