Like the borough itself, this celebratory chronicle is a symphony of neighborhoods, ethnicities, faiths, and foods. The voices of more than a hundred people - some famous, some less-than, who knew and loved that Brooklyn - hark back to a time of simpler, more innocent joys.

Seller's Description:
Fine. Book. 9 1/2h x 7 3/4w. A real nice clean unmarked 250 page first edition softcover with "a" present in alphabet line. Illustrated with period photographs. From back cover: Tells the story of mid-century Brooklyn, home of the famed Brooklyn Dodgers, Nathan's franks, stoop-ball, stickball, and some of the best high schools in America. In this spirited recollection, more than one hundred voices chronicle and celebrate, in tones both humorous and poignant, the borough as it once was: a largely working-and lower-middle-class environment bathed in the optimistic glow of the postwar years.
