One Times Square: A Century of Change at the Crossroads of the World

64 pp. | Godine | September, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-1-56792-364-3 $19.95
(2) 4-6 McKendry (Beneath the Streets of Boston) documents the birth, decay, and revival of Times Square. There's no drama (the porn, prostitution, and street-crime decades are treated matter-of-factly), but visually the book is a spectacle worthy of its subject, featuring technical construction drawings, stirring double-page paintings of the neon-lighted nightlife, and drawings of street scenes from the past. A source list is appended.
