This is Pitt
A post found on the Pittsburgh Radio & TV blog shares a 1963 publication titled This is Pittsburgh (written by Josie Carey).
The blog provides a detailed description of This is Pittsburgh:
This is Pittsburgh is an 80-page, large-format, softcover book that was published by Pickwick-Morcraft Inc., a now-defunct printing company on Baum Boulevard, at the behest of the Regional Industrial Development Corp.One page of This is Pittsburgh includes some very familiar faces.
Partly an illustrated encyclopedia of the region and partly an advertisement for relocating to Pittsburgh, the book's subtitle ("We Live Here ... We Like It!") hints that its aim was to dispel the 1950s "Smoky City" stereotype that plagues southwestern Pennsylvania to this day.
The book credits Carey with the text and Wolfson with the illustrations.
