With more than 120 color photographs, Images of Kansas City provides an exquisite view of one of the country's most desirable places to live. This outstanding collection showcases the many landmarks and scenes associated with Kansas City: Country Club Plaza, with its beautiful fountains and statues; two great sports teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and Royals; buildings such as the Power & Light Building, the H. Roe Bartle Exhibition Hall, and the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art; events at the American Royal arena; and, of course, views of Kansas City's magnificent skyline.
The images in this book were chosen from hundreds of photos submitted to William Mills by both professional and amateur photographers from Kansas City and the surrounding area. Because the contest had few restrictions about subject matter, the photos included demonstrate a wide sampling of photographic approaches and techniques, rendering an excellent portrayal of this vital city.
In his introduction, William Mills provides important historical data on the background and development of Kansas City, touching briefly on the special people and features that have made Kansas City the thriving city that it is today.

Images of Kansas City
Some interesting slice-of-life photographs. Among a dozen music photographs, my favorite shows a parlor piano with Gertrude (Baumgaertner) Damrau looking at sheet music. She played piano and organ for silent films at The Riverside Theater. She also played honky-tonk bars and worked as a song plugger for sheet music customers at the downtown Boston Store. Gertie lived from 1899-1983.
This is a formula book, one of six thousand titles in the series with each one featuring a couple hundred photographs on 128 pages for a standard $22. The quality of writing, editing and varies from title to title. This one suffers from a lack of editing and chronic immersion of the author in the captions. Nonetheless, this book offered some photographs not seen in other history books.
Two and a half stars.
