Customer comments on this selection. Wonderful insight The book provides a wonderful insight into the architecture of the garden district, and how the lives of the young entrepreneurs that built the area shaped it. A Missed Opportunity Beware: This book contains factually incorrect information and incorrectly labeled photographs. These obvious inaccuracies were not corrected in the updated, revised edition. What a shame, because it's a missed opportunity to tell the story of this extraordinary and historically important neighborhood. GARDEN DISTRICT This is a wonderful book on one of the most beautiful neighborhoods in the country. It is a fascinating study of this singular district, the history is extremely interesting and the images are vivid. Visiting the Garden District is like going back in time, it is so well cared for and the residents are very protective of its history. As people mull over the future of New Orleans and wonder what makes this old city so special, and why its worth saving, they need to take a trip down to the Creasent City and walk the streets of the Garden District and see what real beauty is. The Big Easy in a big and easy historical way This book is twice as expensive in New Orleans bookstores. Photos of historical people and places in the Big Easy. This was a nice follow up of my visit to New Orleans, but I'd recommend this for a pre-visit read. Great Pictures When I went to New Orleans, I only had time for a quick driving tour. This book allowed me to see what I missed, and learn more about the architecuaral styles that surround the area. The book has great info on the styles, and tells how they came to be and why. The iron work in the area is to be experienced! The charm of the homes in the Garden District are brilliantly displayed in this book.
