[PRCo] Re: Pittsburgh - Then and Now

[Bob Rathke]

I have a first edition of the Lorant book, and a more recent edition.  The
differences:

- Original edition - large format coffee table book, but printed on uncoated
paper.

- Recent edition - smaller format, but printed on coated (glossy) paper and
updated to include more recent events.

Each edition is different, and I'm happy to have both of them.
