I have for sale or trade a pictorial book titled "Kansas City Then and Now" published in 2000 by The Kansas City Star. This 9" by 11" book is a very first edition softcover book and is in exceptional condition. Kansas City Then and Now takes you on a trip through time- from the city's boom years after the Civil War into the 20th century. You'll see fascinating streetscapes and landscapes, lots of long gone and long forgotten. And you'll see how those same places look today (2000). You'll see how a frontier town became a multi-county metropolis. At about 9 x 11 inches and 246 pages this book has hundreds of pictures, a few of which I have actually shown right here. There are numerous even more pictures, feel free to ask if you're interested in a particular area. There are images of Lenexa, Overland Park, several views of KCK, Union Station inside and out, Brookside, Independence, Fairy Land Park, The Athletics Baseball stadium, The Musicians Association building, Merriam, Johnson County, Ruskin Heights twister damage, the flood of 1906, Strawberry Hill, Swope Park, many views of downtown KCMO and a lot more.
I'm asking $15 for this intriguing take a look at Kansas City history.
Check out the pictures and let me know if you require even more pictures or details, or just really want to make it yours. I'm in Shawnee, KS near I-35 and I'm always open to trades.
