New - Down by the Seaside: Views From Americas Past . - (Past Age Postcard Series) (Paperback) by Steven Izenour (Author) 24 Postcard bound into a Paperback Book. Publisher: Natl Trust for Historic... This description may be from another edition of this product.
From 1917 bathing beauties from Alemeda, CA to the Saltair Pavilion near Salt Lake City, UT, this little book contains 24 "Authentic Old Postcards -Ready to Mail" (I don't know anyone who buys these type of books intending to tear out such cards - they are great to look at).I like to take it off my shelf & look at it every time I think about what people miss today (especially kids)with TV, Gameboys and so on). It is a shame people don't seem to all pile in the family jalopy & head off to the beach as they used to - I know going to new and foreign sites expands horizons, but this book brings back the "Old Days" - even if I am too young to actually ever have seen the places depicted on these cards.If you want a charming (suitably color tinted) look at yesteryear, I recommend this!
