It’s finally here! What every nostalgic New Yorker has been waiting for! And for students of New York City history, who never experienced all of the past that NYC offered and still offers, this is a treasure trove!

Take a stroll down Memory Lane, view the finer details of life in NYC. See all there is to see and know all there is to know, of the things you have probably forgotten about New York City. Get a feel for life in the early turn of the century, go back to the past and view it first hand. Best of all, know where to look for it.

You will want this book if you have not followed the forgotten-ny.com website from week to week, finding this a great guide to the past! If you have followed the web site, then this is a great reference for the future, and a great coffee table book. If you don’t have a coffee table, then this is a great reason to buy one!

There are tons of facts and tidbits, photos and categories such as:
ADS, ALLEYS, CEMETERIES, COBBLESTONES, LAMPS, NECROLOGY, NEIGHBORHOODS, SIGNS, STREET SCENES, SUBWAYS & TRAINS, TROLLEYS, YOU'D NEVER BELIEVE YOU'RE IN NYC.

All this covers the five boroughs and more.

There are great links on the website that take you to other cities, showing you comparisons and history. You will learn things that are fun to know, yet alone see in photos. Learn about the makers and shakers of the five boroughs, the details that gave birth to the greatest city on earth, the beautiful and the not so beautiful of the Big Apple.

The guy that designed and created this site and wrote the book, Kevin Walsh, used to work under me at Publishers Clearing House and did everything there was to do. He proofread, wrote and did mechanical art for my design group. Besides that he is just a smart SOB and brilliant in more ways than one, and just a genuine nice guy. So give the guy a break and buy his book already! It will make you a better New Yorker, and a better American. Besides, the price is right.
