Rezensionen
"This guidebook is a delight to read and it's going to be a big hit with Brooklynites and anyone else who is curious about the borough.

I want to see all the idiosyncratic things it describes, from the City Reliquary, to the remnants of the Syrian Jewish community, to the outlandish McMansions."--Harvey Molotch, New York University
