Customer Reviews

Sloane Sweet Sloane

Another great book on Americana by Eric Sloane. Love the way that Mr. Sloane captures the feeling of the time. Like he was there himself. If you love Americana then this book is for you. Also illustrated by Sloane himself you get the feeling of being there yourself. Excellent.

Great Sloane Illustrations

If you enjoy Eric Sloane's illustrations, you will want this book. Many of the items illustrated in this book have appeared elsewhere in Eric Sloane's books. But this book is comprised exclusively of illustrations with short captions to provide the necessary information. It would be a nice way to introduce young readers to Sloane's work.
