Book Reviews of Wit's End: Days and Nights of the Algonquin Round Table

Book Review: Great Book with Pictures
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is a marvelous tale of the Algonquin Roundtable without being overly long or in-depth, yet truly complete and all-encompassing, and with photographs -- plenty of them. Not only in the superb writing, but in the photos, this New York version of the Lost Generation then hanging out in Paris comes to life in its pages. Extremely well researched and written, this is a first-rate book and a must-have for anyone interested in this circle of Big Apple intelligentsia.
