And While We're on the Topic: "Images of America - Duluth" Sheldon Aubut and Maryanne Norton's "Images of America - Duluth, Minnesota" is now out. The authors break the city into several sections or neighborhoods, outlining the history of each. Interspersed with historic and a few contemporary photos are photos of some of the people who helped build Duluth and some of the celebrities who had connections with it. The cutlines under the historic photos tell the reader what they most want to know: what the buildings were used for, what year they were built, and what became of them. Enough architectural detail is given to help casual readers see what a Richardsonian Romanesque or Shingle house looked like, without sending one scurrying for a dictionary of architectural terms. Whether someone has visited Duluth or not, this is an entertaining and handy little book to have. For someone who IS contemplating a visit, it would be an ideal guide book. The book is available at local and national bookstores, on-line bookstores, and at Sheldon and Maryanne's web site, http://www.inredllc.com/duluth. Signed copies can also be ordered directly from the authors for $19.99 by calling (218) 878-1766.
