The "Paper Rex" Man Review

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago

The book is probably mainly of interest to those who grew up on the West Side of Cleveland, Ohio; it's a collection of anecdotal stories and memories, with lots of black and white period photos (mid-Twentieth Century), most of which are unfortunately not captioned.
