Seller's Description:
As New in New jacket. Book. 10h x 8 1/2w. A real nice clean unmarked about 250 page first edition with A present in alphabet line. Has more than 300 black & white 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.
