A Sloppy History, December 27, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Brooklyn's Gold Coast: The Sheepshead Bay Communities (Hardcover)
The book has some good photos, but the printing is poor quality and the layout and design are sloppy and confusing.
Whole sections of the text are lifted directly from Vincent Seyfried's "The Long Island Railroad: A Comprehensive History." And the source of some of Brian Merlis' photos must be questioned.

This review is from: Brooklyn's Gold Coast: The Sheepshead Bay Communities (Hardcover)
having grown up in sheepshead bay, I couldnt say no to this book. Pictures and history are quite interesting, but they arranged somewhat haphazardly and the history is not in chronologic order. A good book if you are from the area
