Excellent volume. Lots of great historic photos of pre-Prohibition saloons that are a wealth of information as primary, historic sources. Kudos to Mr. Kislingbury for his efforts to compile so many great, early images in a single volume. Still working my way through, but very pleased. This will be a source that I refer back to on numerous occasions!

Yup, I just googled "old saloon photos" and "old west saloon pictures" and found a bunch. Some seem familiar / similar from the book. If you like physical images in a book, you will like this book but for the novelty alone I am not sure the book is worth it since the online images are pretty good. Hence the 3 stars.

Wonderful book! I bought another just to have as a back up since the price was great. Has everything you need to view historic pre prohibition saloons and bars. More importantly, it's filled with a bunch of advertising products in the photos. A MUST HAVE!

Love this book and it's predecessor, Saloons Bars and Cigar Stores. If you're a fan of breweriana, vintage coin-op, advertising or American history you will enjoy paging through it. Tons of great pictures and interesting tidbits from cover to cover.
