Book Reviews of Old Brooklyn in Early Photographs, 1865-1929 (New York City)
Book Review: A Must Have for Brooklyn enthusiasts.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is absolutely a must have for anyone who lives in or loves Brooklyn.
I've walked the much less stately Promenade, now missing the greenhouse and Montague Street ferry dock. Seen trash stuffed into the latticed metal supports of the El (now JMZ) over Broadway. (That hasn't changed.) And I've imagined grass growing on Bedford Ave. There used to be farms there!
This book even includes photos of Coney Island landmarks, Dreamland and Luna Park. Astroland had nothing on Luna. You could plotz. It was gorgeous.
