This book wasn't exactly what I had expected. I thought the author had written the book based on the original writings of the Works Progress Administration. Instead it was reproductions of some of the actual WPA submissions to what was supposed to be America Eats. As the author points out, some of the submissions are better than others. I was into it for about the first half or so, and then I started losing interest as the book moved west.
