Ennis, Texas (Images of America Series)
Simplistic and disjointed. Was really disappointed with how the book handled the overtly racist imagery on the facade of a north Seattle restaurant' it was pawned off as a case of the owner considering it a cute marketing gimmick to attract children. This sort of thing shouldn't be treated as a cutesy anecdote without censure. Why even tell this bit at all unless you're going to call out his ignorance? Is it part of the classically over-used "oh, he meant no harm" strategy? Because he did cause harm. Actively.
I know local history tomes aren't always held to the highest standards, but the failure to acknowledge the gross grimness of racist caricature and trying to spin it lighthearted? I found it pretty offensive and it hampered my enjoyment of the rest of the book.
