Review # 1 was written on 2017-01-06 00:00:00 Ralph Johansen A great coffee-table book. The different hotels and resorts contained in this book makes you yearn to be in there. Reading the book itself is a great escape to Asia in itself.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-08-11 00:00:00 Audrey Harrison "Buddy, I'm not a nice girl. I'm a photographer...I go anywhere," replied Berenice Abbott to a male supervisor when he cautioned her that "nice girls" don't go to the Bowery. After reading Dwight Garner's New York Times review (April 9, 2018) of Julia Van Haaften's bio, Berenice Abbott: A Life in Photography, I got New York in the Thirties out of the library so I could marvel at Abbott's dramatic vision of the city, uptown to the Bowery, street level to the sky. Abbott was quite the character, taking small parts in her friend Eugene' O'Neill's plays, immortalized by James Joyce in Finnegan's Wake, getting kicked off the floor for "obscenity" dancing with Man Ray. What a life; what a photographer!
