Due to the overwhelming popularity of "Quad-City Memories: The Early Years," The Quad-City Times is proud to partner, once again, with the Davenport Public Library, The Rock Island County Historical Society, The Rock Island Arsenal Museum and our readers on a new hardcover pictorial history book, "Rise of the Quad-Cities: The 1940s, '50s, '60s and '70s."

This heirloom-quality coffee-table book offers a glimpse of the Quad-City area in the 1940s, '50s, '60s and '70s with a brief reprise of the early years through stunning and historic photos. In addition, we are thrilled to include photographic memories of years gone by from our readers once again.
