"This wonderful book discusses more than 250 sites throughout Portland . . . Its contents include descriptions of buildings and other structures, but King never rests on that sort of information . . .This book is a plethora of riches, an irresistible read and a fine guide to many of Portland’s unique buildings. The black-and-white photographs by the author are a treasure in and of themselves."
-Dan Hays, Statesman Journal
