This review is from: Diamond Stories: Enduring Change on 47th Street (Anthropology of Contemporary Issues) (Hardcover)

This review is from: Diamond Stories: Enduring Change on 47th Street (Anthropology of Contemporary Issues) (Hardcover)
This book is a unique look at a particular slice of society and about a way of life that is changing. Very interesting if you are interested in the lives of diamond dealers in New York City.
