Why read it?
1 author picked Denver Then and Now as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I like reading about Denver's history, but I love seeing pictures bring that history to life. This book shows old pictures of buildings and compares them with the present-day look.

From Lisa's list on The best books to explore Denver no matter if you're a newcomer or local.
