Allegheny Cemetery was laid out by John Chislett, Pittsburgh's first professional architect and subsequently directed by prominent American landscape architect William Falconer. Many famous Pittsburghers are buried there, those who had local wealth and power and those nationally known such as Stephen Collins Foster and Lillian Russell. The book includes an essay describing the Cemetery's history, architecture, and landscape, and a guide to 195 significant burial places and buildings."; 11.4 X 9.8 X 0.7 inches; 155 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
