Excerpt from Steinke's Story of Scranton and Vicinity in Cartoons I have two reasons for writing this book. I want to let the world know Scranton looks good to me and I want to make Scranton look good to the world. That's one reason. The other is I want to do the story in my own way and make some money. That is the main reason. Other histories of Scranton have been written and all have been read. I'm not much concerned whether this is read or not. The main issue is that it sells. If it sells I will cancel the reading obligation. But I hope it will be read. If you like it, boost. If you don't like it, boost.
