From the rear cover
"No one knows the remarkable diversity of New Orleans' historic neighborhoods, or appreciates the incredible beauty of their architecture, more than Stephanie Bruno. For those who choose to walk in her footsteps, she is the perfect guide to these special places that are the heart and soul of the city."
--Richard Moe, president emeritus, National Trust for Historic Preservation
"Stephanie Bruno has written a book that both New Orleanians and visitors need: a building watchers' tour that covers New Orleans neighborhoods. If 'Pride Builds New Orleans, ' as one mayor made his motto, then Bruno's pride and knowledge of her city as well as her talent, as seen in this book, could help 'Save New Orleans.'"
--Roulhac B. Toledano, architectural historian and author of A Pattern Book of New Orleans Architecture
"New Orleans Streets calls attention to things commonly overlooked and unappreciated in New Orleans' rich architectural legacy, clearly explains what you are viewing in the city's historic neighborhoods, and helps the native New Orleanian and visitor alike know exactly 'where y'at.'"
--Robert Cangelosi, Jr., architect and coauthor of New Orleans Architecture, Volume VIII: The University Section
"Stephanie Bruno gives the reader a wonderful face-to-face encounter with the incredibly rich texture of the city's endearing neighborhoods. Her book is simultaneously a knowing guide to our splendid and wacky architecture and a vivid block-by-block tribute to the New Orleans art of making great urban places."
--Jack Davis, journalist and preservationist
