Recommends it for:
New Yorkers and those interested in Brooklyn neighborhoods
This book contains dated information (1998) yet still provides an excellent overview of the historical and recent composition of Brooklyn's diverse neighborhoods. Maps of the geographic boundaries, architectural styles, historical photographs and demographic data of each neighborhood provide context for understanding the current dynamics of Brooklyn's neighborhoods today. An excellent resource for anyone living, working or interested in Brooklyn's neighborhoods.
