Today’s Rad Reading: Vanishing Seattle by Clark Humphrey.
Since Peter put up a post about Seattle, thought I’d share a book with a more intimate look at the city and its history. The fun thing about the publisher, Arcadia Publishing, is that if you provide them with 300 photos of an area and text to go with them, they will publish it as part of their series, which is HUGE. Many neighborhoods in large cities have books about them.
