A trip through time

Boulder is an interesting town, and having lived here for 35 years, I've seen many changes. Sylvia Pettem has documented Boulder's transition over the past 50+ years beautifully. The photos are well done, and the way the book is laid out makes it easy for one to do a walking tour in a logical manner. This would be an excellent book for someone contemplating a move to Boulder, or even someone who has visited our town and wants to take home a memory or two.
