Atlantic City has worn the tag of America s Playground since its earliest days, so it is only natural that its biggest and most well-known icon, the Steel Pier, would be known as the Showplace of the Nation.

Autorenporträt
Steve Liebowitz has been a cartoonist, radio show host, writer, and comic and has researched Atlantic City and the history of the Steel Pier for over 20 years. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, he went to the pier once in its last morbid year and was hooked. His first book, Steel Pier, Atlantic City: Showplace of the Nation, was an instant hit. Liebowitz supplied most of the images for this book from his vast collection, much of which has never been seen before.
