The Bollard dismisses 'Concise History'

The Bollard: "Portland author John B. Robinson has written a short, lively, readable history of our fair city, one that can be read in a single sitting. A breezy page-turner as thin as an iPod and only twice as wide, it's a book that lives up to its name: it's concise, but as a reliable record of the past, it's best tossed into the fireplace."
