3.0 out of 5 stars I Would've Paid More for White Space & Color, January 15, 2002
By A Customer
This is a thorough, fascinating and informative book. However, I have two major complaints:
1. The pictures are generally laid out two to a page. With the extensive text, the pages look crowded. A larger page size and wider border would've made the book easier to read.
2. All the postcards are pictured in black and white. Many of the postcards were originally in color and don't translate well into black and white; the pictures just don't look as sharp. It's disappointing to see photos of Times Square from its color-splashed neon heyday rendered in greyscale.

The topic and text deserve a better designed treatment.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a marvelous book!, January 3, 2001
128 pages of vintage (and a few new) postcards, with well-written explanatory captions. All of New York's 42nd Street (from river to river), concentrating on the Times Square area.

A very depressing book, like those "Then and Now" photobooks. New York was such a beautiful city 100 years ago, and it is heartbreaking to see the grand hotels, magnificent mansions, quaint brownstones and restaurants lost forever.

Nicely priced--there is no reason not to snap this one up, and I do hope more are to follow in a series!
