A Picture History of the Brooklyn Bridge
"A model of a picture history that rises to the demands of one of humankind's great creations. In short, I can't imagine a better book on the Brooklyn Bridge." - Elliot Willensky, co-author of theAIA Guide to New York City"Shapiro offers a fascinating collection... In bringing together  these pictures from many archival collections, the author has created a  work of lasting value... Highly recommended." -Library Journal"Shapiro's volume relies on brief texts and a large number of documentary photographs, prints, and drawings to tell the story of the bridge to the present day... The annotations accompanying the illustrations expertly chronicle the design challenges that the bridge involved and portray the more personal impact of the bridge on the city." -Booklist
