I'd give this book more stars if I could, . I am a huge fan of collecting the pieces of our pasts, most especially photos and letters (diaries etc) and I love a little mystery. Riggs pulled together some intriguing and very touching photos, each one pulls at our imaginations and our hearts, each one bringing our quirks and emotions in to focus. Wow. I love this guy. His novel was also excellent and I eagerly await the next one as well. ( )

BIG HUGE fan of Riggs and the entire idea of collecting old photos. I have purchased many of them myself, but would never have thought to do what he has done with them. I enjoyed this book so much and bought a copy for my sister as well.

Old photos are so haunting and Riggs gives us the tiny bit of personal background that is contained on the back sides of these. Sometimes that transforms what would seem like a very bland photo into something quite interesting and extraordinary. Can't see how anyone would fail to love this.

Sorry to be so late in writing my review. If you do not know Riggs, please give him a chance. His [b:Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children|9460487|Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #1)|Ransom Riggs|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1391229642s/9460487.jpg|14345371] series is amazing.

This book is a photo album with vague descriptions. The feeling of nostalgia and melancholy that it left within me is immeasurable; it was painfully beautiful. ( )

Love this book. Sad and beautiful photos. I couldn't stop looking at them.

A wonderful selection of photographs ranging from the extremely funny to heartbreakingly sad... Loved it! ( )
