"The Golden Gate Bridge is the most famous bridge in the world. It is also, not entirely coincidentally, the world's only bright-orange bridge. But it wasn't supposed to be that way. In this book, fellow bridge-lovers Dave Eggers and Tucker Nichols tell the story of how it happened - how a bridge that some people wanted to be red and white, and some people wanted to be yellow and black, and most people wanted simply to be gray, instead became, thanks to the vision and stick-to-itiveness of a few peculiar architects, one of the most memorable man-made objects ever created."--provided by Amazon.com.

Some History for an Early Reader and Anyone submitted by KPNF on August 30, 2019, 6:27am This book is appealing not only to young or early readers. The simple, colorful illustrations along with the not too wordy writing makes it an enjoyable, short read to learn a bit of history (though the book is on the long side for a picture book). It would be especially of interest to those who love design, engineering and architecture
