This book is a plagarized disaster.: As a French Quarter resident in New Orleans who is concerned about our City's historic preservation, I have an active interest in books that capture the evolution of this City. Upon seeing Mr. Sullivan's book at a local shop, I was shocked to see the degree to which pictures and captions were copied outright from the original and more comprehensive book by the SAME TITLE from 1999 by Richard and Marina Campanella. Don't buy this book. It is a shabby mimic of the original masterpiece and buying it supports the act of plagarism.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE!: I found this book to be one of the best gifts I have ever received.Being from New Orleans and looking back at our past and what we have evolved into was simply nothing short of fantastic .It was well composed and the photography was exceptionally well done.Compared to similar books done slightly earlier ,this is a WINNER!I bought these as gifts for Christmas after I received mine.Everyone who got it raved.This author has proven to me, more than once, he is dedicated to authenticity and has the respect for New Orleans that New Orleans deserves.My hats off to you Mr.Sullivan.Great job.Keep up the good work.
