Images of America - Dixon, Illinois

by Bob Gibler
$18.99

        A 128 page soft cover book - Dixon, Illinois, has over
        200 images of the city from its founding up to around 
        1930. For people who have memories of Dixon and for people
        who want a glimpse of Dixon before current memory, a 
        new book fills just that need. The book is addictive.
        From the sepia-tinted cover of early downtown Dixon to 
        the haunting image of the adult Ronald Reagan visiting 
        Lowell Park, the book compels the reader to keep looking, 
        keep reading.
