Review:

"Baltimore Transitions is a must buy... Whether you are a Baltimore worrier or a Baltimore optimist, you won't be able to stop looking through this picture book, which is accompanied by a well- researched text amazingly free of numbing cliches. As I look at the before-and-after shots, I keep thinking just how much of Baltimore is, in fact, preserved... Here's a fine book that gets you thinking. Is it all gone? Or is it really all there, waiting to be better understood, used, and appreciated?" -- Jacques Kelly, Baltimore Sun

"Mark B. Miller's Baltimore is going and gone. In his new book, Baltimore Transitions: Views of an American City in Flux, he shows us the town's charms before the armies of architects and planners and demolition experts had their way, and also shows us the exact changes in the click of a camera shutter. The camera is his. Miller first dug up mountains of photos of the city's yesteryear, and then took his own shots of the same locations today -- from the original camera angles. It'll leave you wistful when it doesn't make you mutter a curse under your breath." -- Michael Olesker, Baltimore Sun
