What a delightful, helpful book this is for anyone wishing to explore little-known but fascinating historic sites in The City of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection! Whether you're a tourist new to Philly or a longtime resident of the area, you won't be able to resist visiting many of the spots the clever author, Mary Dixon Lebeau, has discovered and revealed in her first book. A Philly native herself and a former newspaper columnist, Lebeau recently told a rapt audience that she thoroughly enjoyed researching and writing this engaging, fun book and her enthusiasm shows on every page. She and her husband took all of the photos that accompany the text. The book is laid out in an orderly, readable format and may well become the next must-read for everyone wanting to know more of Philly than cheesesteaks, Rocky Balboa, and the Liberty Bell.
