A varied book that will appeal to armchair travelers and others curious about New York. Highly recommended for public libraries as well as large academic libraries the world over.
Readers who enjoyed Studs Terkel's oral histories will enjoy this, as will those interested in the social culture of London. ["More than a collection of conversations, this book brings London to life as it is—ever changing, ever eternal, ever unforgettable. A delight!" read the review of the Ecco: HarperCollins hc, LJ 10/1/11.—Ed.]
