These are great books.  If you have any interest in the history of the Akron/Ephrata area, you need to see these books.  There a treasure of photos that tell a long story about the Cocalico Valley.  I was particularly interested in some of the photos of the Cloister because they are more then what you see when you visit today.  These volumes contain hundreds of photos.  I truly can say that each of those photos is worth a thousand words.
