4.0 out of 5 stars a nice pictorial stroll through Brooklyn, past and present, February 26, 2011

lazza (Fort Lauderdale, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brooklyn...and How It Got That Way (Hardcover)

I discovered this book at a thrift shop and was very surprised and pleased. Its 200+ pages provide a great history lesson on Brooklyn and describes nicely all the nuances of its neighborhoods. The pictures and photos are great. This book is definitely a keeper! I will definitely look for the author's other book on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Bottom line: a quality, pleasant portrayal of Brooklyn. It seems criminal for this book to be out of print!!
