Sometimes you can see into the past — especially through books.

Warren Dalton is putting out a new book called “Between the Columns.” The deadline for ordering it is Sept. 30, 2011. It can be ordered through the Columbia Daily Tribune’s website here.

His previous book, “Historic Downtown Columbia,” featured information on the downtown area. This book, according to publicity materials, is 304 pages and features historic photographs creating a “rich and robust stroll through local history by an enthusiastic storyteller.”

The book is a collection of Dalton’s columns that were published in the Columbia Tribune from August 6, 2006 through August 1, 2010.
