About the author
Donald D Spencer is credited with two local-history books built around vintage postcards, St. Augustine, Florida and Greetings from Ormond Beach, Florida, both published by Schiffer Publishing in the 2000s. Each book pairs old postcard images, some hand-colored, with present-day photographs of the same streets, buildings, and neighborhoods, tracing how a Florida town changed over roughly a century. St. Augustine, Florida draws on 334 color images to cover the city's plaza, streets, and public buildings, while the Ormond Beach volume follows sites along the Tomoka River and the surrounding area. These are visual, collector-oriented books for readers interested in Florida history, postcard collecting, and photographic before-and-after comparisons rather than narrative history or any occult subject, despite how they are filed in this catalogue.
