I will admit I was caught off guard when sent this book to review. At first glance, I thought it may have been about historical events, but that is not the case. ABC News: 75 Years in the Making highlights the evolution of journalism within the network. This coffee table book is surprisingly very interesting. I really enjoyed looking through the photos of past news anchors, covering some of the most important news events of our lives.

ABC News: 75 Years in the Making($50) is available now through shopDisney, Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million.
