3.0 out of 5 stars Great Illustrations, Mediocre Stories, December 3, 2006
By 
The Comtesse DeSpair (http://asylumeclectica.com) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sins of New York as "exposed" by the Police gazette
I must say that I was very unenthralled with the stories reprinted in this book. For the most part I did not find them very morbid or interesting. However, the illustrations are magnificent, and if you're interested in fabulous morbid 19th century illustrations, then you will adore this book. If you're looking for a good read, steer clear...

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful "Sins", August 26, 2001
By 
Susan Prendergast (Cleveland Heights, OH, USA) - See all my reviews
"Sins of New York" by Edward Van Every. Recommended by Susan Prendergast: A cheerfully morbid book: read "Sins of New York!" This is a compilation of stories from the old 'Police Gazette--The National Police Gazette, the Leading Illustrated Sporting Journal in the World,' printed in 1930, by Edward Van Every, also author of 'Muldoon: the Solid Man of Sport.' From the introduction, by F.P.A. (Franklin P. Adams.): 'His book shows, uniquely and fascinatingly, a great part of the history of the American people, their tastes, their violences, their recreations.' Especially delicious is the second section, 'The Richard K Fox Gazette,' reprinted, from 1876, on actual Pink Paper just like the old Gazette itself!- at least in my edition. Long quotations from the tabloid are include with the best and most absurd illustrations. There're wonderful accounts of high society and low life to be found here. It's funny crime from the views of reporters of more than a century ago.
