Philadelphia Originals
"Philadelphia Originals is an important book that all Philadelphians need to read. Through a series of historical vignettes and corresponding images, Mr Glantz has captured the distinctive character of the city's 'civic culture' that has emerged over the past three centuries."
John Alviti,
Senior Curator of the Franklin Institute Science Museum
  
"Philadelphia Originals is a delightful blend of profiles and history, of culture and business. It will be of interest not only to tourists, but also to people who live or work in Greater Philadelphia. The unique approach of organizing the book by profession will be easy and enjoyable to read."
Meryl Levitz, President and CEO,
Greater Philadelphia Tourism and Marketing Office
 

The book contains over 300 images. Here's a sampling.
