Early Autumn - Apple and Cinnamon

New VapeSafe Early Autumn eLiquid.

Early Autumn - Apples and Cinnamon flavored eLiquid evokes memories of the beginning of fall. The feel of the warm autumn sun on the skin. The sight of vibrant hues of amber and crimson leaves hanging in gently swaying trees soaking up the light. The rustling sound of the breeze slipping through the tree branches tugging and teasing the remaining leaves into releasing their hold and floating downward. The laughing children raking the leaves into piles and then running and jumping into the soft, luscious piles scattering the leaves again. The delicious smells of baking apple and cinnamon pies wafting through open windows. These are the sights, smells and tastes of Early Autumn.

Early Autumn eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of Autumn no matter what season it is. Early Autumn eLiquid is flavorful combination of apples and cinnamon. As with all of the VapeSafe eLiquids, our mixtures are designed to produce nice, heavy vapors and the most succulent flavors. Try Early Autumn eLiquid today!

Summary: "The best out there, but not without flaws"

I am a committed amateur architectural historian, and I bought this book immediately upon its publication. It's a fine book, and an exhaustive, encyclopedic effort. This is as close to a complete modern survey of Charleston buildings you will find, but there are some things potential readers should know:

First, the book is REALLY limited to Charleston city. Don't come here looking for excursions to local plantations, churches and gardens. The buildings are all located within the city limit, and mostly south of Marion Square.

Second, inexplicably, Jon has excluded a section of Tradd Street (the important 60 block) that includes some of the most important surviving structures of the "Grand Modell." The magnificent 1731 Jacob Motte House, at 61 Tradd Street, is absent from the survey! What happened here?

Third, the author has not hidden his revisionist agenda by intentionally "pre-dating" many of the oldest structures in the city. This, unfortunately, is a trend in all of architectural history: Buildings are never found to be OLDER than popular knowledge, but only newer. Some of the revision can be attributed to dendochronology, but in the case of this book it is, more often than not, simply the opinion of the author. So you'll be disturbed to learn that the old colonial house you thought was built in 1740 was "probably" built in 1790. There are many such date revisions in this book. Frequently, architectural historians are far too arrogant dismissing public perception, particular when that perception comes from ancient oral history rather than the [often incomplete] written record.

This is a good book. It's a relatively complete survey, printed in a familiar AIA-style format that includes brief entries and small monochrome photographs. Remember, as quickly as restoration occurs in Charleston, this book is getting a bit on the side of old. A new edition would be a real treat, and will eventually become a necessity.

Summary: "An absolute must if you love architecture and Charleston."

Mr. Poston has done an excellent and exhaustive job with this book. To my knowledge it is the most comprehensive compilation to date. As well as photographs of the houses plans are also shown for many. A 9+ only because I'm reluctant to say that the "perfect" book has ever been published.
