PCB Book Cover
 		 
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING:

"A first-class guidebook ....  This glove  compartment-
sized book categorizes the bridges by county, then alphabetically. Each entry is accompanied by a photo and construction data."
 - Pittsburgh History
"This page-by-page, county-by-county collection that includes not just a picture of each bridge, but also its age, history, size, condition, location - even the kind of truss used to support the bridge .... Surely the most definitive guide on the subject."
 - The Times Leader (Wilkes-Barre, PA)
"A valuable resource into a unique part of Pennsylvania  history."
 - The Latrobe Bulletin
"The most up-to-date guide available to every remaining covered bridge in Pennsylvania."
 - Western Pennsylvania Genealogical Society                  Quarterly
"Pennsylvania, the site of the first covered bridge in the United States (over the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia), remains the state with the most surviving structures. Ben and June Evans revisited every one, crisscrossing the state during the spring and summer of 2000, taking new photographs and noting changes since 1993, the year the first edition of Pennsylvania's Covered Bridges was published.  The result is a revised and expanded second edition, filled to the brim with color photographs and additional information about each of the 221 remaining covered bridges in the state."
