8.5" x 11" format, with this book generally featuring a left-hand page of written background, history and infomation concerning each building and the building is seen in a full-page line drawing on the ajoining right-hand page. However, often as not, the first drawing is accompanied with a second drawing of a special feature or a different aspect of the building. In a real sense this volume is both a history of Minneapolis and a history of it's city architecture. - “As you explore, use this book Let its words and sketches guide you along to the standing landmarks and remind you of some that no longer exist...Along the way, you’ll leam about some of the people who...built a city — a good city — and named it Minneapolis.” Barbara Flanagan, Minneapolis Star and Tribune - “This book delights and informs anyone interested in the rich panorama of historic places and memorable buildings of Minneapolis.” Russell W. Fridley, Director, Minnesota Historical Society - “Forum Cafeteria, the Metropolitan Building, the West Hotel are gone, but Craig Maclntosh has captured them for us in his charming pen-and-ink drawings.” Linda Mack, Editor, Architecture Minnesota
