Disappearing Into North Adams
So I picked up Joe Manning's book this week.
I got it on eBay for $15.00.
It's a great book for understanding the history of one of Massachusetts' most unusual communities and the mistakes and bad decisions and ruthless business practices that have dotted its history. It also contains some fantastic photos. I just wish it had even more of them. I would buy a book that was nothing but pictures of North Adams.
I was surprised to see that Manning has only lived in the city, occasionally working for The Transcript, for less than 10 years.
Anyways, it's a great book. If I see more copies floating around, I'll be sure to snap them up and pass them around.
