Many images in this volume were submitted by
present and former residents of Westfield in response
to the authors' request for vintage images. In poring
through these vast submissions, authors Cramer
and Ackerman have produced a second book that is
destined to bring back memories and enliven interest in
Westfield's fascinating past.

Author Bio
Residents of Westfield greeted the publication of a photographic history of their city with tremendous enthusiasm in 1996. For the first time, significant people and events in the city's past were celebrated in a vivid record available to all. The authors of that volume-- Patricia Cramer and Joan Ackerman of the Westfield Athenaeum--have worked together again to produce an all-new second book on the city that incorporates many newly discovered images.
