Pub. Meridian Books Inc., 1959.

First edition, second printing.

Softback.

352 pages, illustrated


A scarce first edition (second printing) of one of the greatest guide books ever written about New York City. So beautifully evocative of Manhattan in the late '50s, and the distinct personalities of every neighbourhood in those days before gentrification. If you lived in New York then, this is a guidebook that will trigger memories of long gone places and pleasures.
 

Very good condition.
