With a second edition of the popular Stokes Photo Book selling out, Chattanoogan.com will publish a third edition of 1,000 copies.
John Wilson, publisher, said, "We continue to get calls and emails inquiring about the availability of this remarkable Chattanooga photo collection. So we have asked College Printing at Collegedale to put the almost 600-page book back on the presses.
"It should be ready in about three weeks and will be sold at some of the same locations, including Zarzour's Restaurant off Main Street."
The price of the soft-cover book, which includes some 700 early Chattanooga views, will remain $35.
To reserve a copy of the 11x8 1/2 format book, mail a check for $41 (including $6 for mailing) to

The photos are by David and Will Stokes, who were both early commercial photographers in Chattanooga.
The pictures were passed down to great-granddaughter, Connie Cooper Jones, who has graciously allowed their publication. The over-sized, clear photos have been kept in several cardboard boxes for over a century. Most had not previously been published.
The most recent photo in the collection is around 1920, and many are much older.
