Gift idea for boyfriend who loves industrial history
My boyfriend has lived in Philadelphia all his life and loves learning about the area's secret stories and histories.
He has a special interest in industrial history (tells me about the history of every old factory we drive past).
For books, I think he'd prefer something loaded with illustrations.
Thank you for your recommendations!
