The WPA Guide to New York City: The Federal Writers' Project Guide to 1930s New York (American Guide)
This and several similar guides were sanctioned by the Federal Writers Project in the 1930s. Published in 1939, WPA Guide, which was praised by the New York Times as "one of the best books ever published about New York," dissects the wicked city in minute detail with the aid of maps and photos. With the American Library Association meeting in Manhattan next July, this book will help librarians brush up on the Big Apple.Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc.
