Jim Mason will be at Watermark for a book talk and signing for "\;Wichita’s History in Picture Postcards."\;
The Golden Era of picture postcards occurred 100 years ago\, at a time when Wichita was undergoing a tremendous burst of growth and development. Jim Mason will give an illustrated presentation about his new book\, "\;Wichita"\;\, that features over 200 vintage picture postcards showing what our city was like a century ago.
Jim's first book\, "\;Wichita’s Riverside Parks\,"\; came out in April 2011 and was done through Arcadia Publications. It chronicled how Wichita has used the area along the rivers for recreation over the years. His second book is in the Arcadia Postcard History Series and is simply titled "\;Wichita."\; It features 206 antique picture postcard views of our town from a century ago and reveals the stories they tell. Jim will give an illustrated presentation on the book and autograph copies afterwards.
