It was a great book to read being that i'm from brooklyn. And so many things that i was not aware of. Really fascinating. My only beef is the way the book is bound. It just came apart from the cover. So now i have to find a way to re glue it back together. What a pain....Frank Taglieri.

I ran into this book at the house we rented this summer in the Hamptons. The owner is an art and book collector and had some fabulous books and paintings. I fell in love with this book the moment I picked it up and knew I had to find a copy. I found it here on Amazon and I just love to look at the pictures and read the history of the neighborhoods that I spent part of my childhood in during the late sixties.... Great Book! highly recomend it.

If you ever lived in Brooklyn or visited relatives there growing up, this book brings it all back to you. On the bottom of page 244, I was surprised to find a picture of my Grandma Josie, sitting in front of her house as she had throughout her life. Grandma is gone now . . . but she is forever immortalized in this book.
