"This book of black-and-white pictures by some of the twentieth century's most talented photographers recaptures the authentic look and feel of the Depression and the home front during World War II. As an added bonus, these are Pennsylvanian scenes and people."
--Richard Robbins, Tribune-Review
"From the gaunt faces of black children in an Aliquippa slum to the grubby faces of coal miners in Pittsburgh, Times of Sorrow and Hope captures in moving photographs the faces and emotions of the years of the Great Depression and early World War II in Pennsylvania."
--Mary O. Bradley, Harrisburg Patriot News
"Still much intrigued by American Expressionism, I was happy to also have this book along."

"A valuable pictorial study and resource for Pennsylvania history, but it raises issues about reading documentary photographs--what can be seen and interpreted with or without captions. Extended captions: biographical notes."
--P.C. Bunnell, emeritus, Choice
"The book, published last year by Penn State Press, was probably 30 years in the making."
--Lisa Christopher, Intelligencer Journal
"This wonderful book is beautifully produced on quality paper stock. The printing captures the broad range of tones in black and white photography with an appealing fidelity. The fine, semi-matte surface of the book's pages allows for the inks to render the images with great accuracy. This can be seen mostly in the success of rendering the shadow details. The layout and design of the book are well done. The photographs are presented in a consistent size from page to page with plenty of white space around them to set them off, as if they were framed for an exhibit."
--Guy Freeman, Cumberland County History
"In conclusion, this is a fantastic book of classic black and white photographs and it could stand on that strength along. But it is more. Due to the author's comprehensive organization, it is also a valuable historic and anthropological document, a resource, and a research tool. It provides access to an archive that remains important to history and to the history of Art."
--Guy Freeman, Cumberland County History
