An awesome book!

I received this book yesterday, and must say that I was very pleased with it. I grew up in Maywood in the 1970's. I was surprised to see so many pictures. I'm also glad the author identified the street address of each house. Who knows, some day I may be able to go back and look up each building. I was surprised to see pictures of my high school (building in progress) and an earlier version of my grade school. I also like the famous Maywoodians chapter. An excellent book!
