Good information on my childhood association with Brooklyn. Published year I left NYS, 1957.

The 1978 revised edition got too old to be useful.

The new (2010) edition, and just as useful and entertaining as the prior (2000) volume. A lot of new buildings have gone up in the past decade, many of them far more adventurous than the usual NYC norm, so it is definitely worth getting the new books. Architecture buffs and NYC aficionados will find this very useful on a walk, and great fun to leaf through at home.
