Great resource Steve.

Every year our local newspaper produces a book called 'Wish you were here.' that is made up of post cards from yesteryear. All are old images of my hometown submitted by the public.

Pretty much a metal detectorists dream book... they are very helpful.

I encourage you all to see if one is produced in your town. You'll be very happy if you find one.

Fantastic post.
