Since 1992, preservationist Dwight Young has used his column "The Back Page" in Preservation magazine to record his witty, thought-provoking, and poignant observations about historic places and how they affect us--from grand monuments to the humble front porch. Fifty-four of his essays have been reprinted in this 116-page publication which includes lively drawings and color photos that illustrate the people and places highlighted in each essay. This copy is signed by author Dwight Young. Presented with a National Trust tote bag.
