Excerpt:
American Diner then is a history of America told through its Diners. It is also an exciting book to look at as it includes hundreds of photographs,- some of them historical: others, the exciting contemporary work of Elliott Kaufman. He is renowned locally for his
commercial work and his achievements in producing photo murals. His local clients have included several major banks, airlines, insurance companies, SEPTA, WCAU-TV, WPVI-TV and others too numerous to mention here. Kaufman has also participated in exhibitions
for the past 10 years and had his work featured in professional publications.
