Review # 1 was written on 2008-01-15 00:00:00 thomas walker This is a fabulous collection of essays by writers who live in Brooklyn about their personal relationship with the borough. Even if I had not written an essay for this book, i would still run out and buy this book and give it as gifts! None of the writers were paid for their work and all the proceeds go to legal council for Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn. These writers are diverse-- some famous, some not-- and all have something unique to offer.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-29 00:00:00 Matthew Barker Right up my street - unsurprising to those who know me. Bought this at the Strand during my last visit. Interestingly, the piece I liked the least was by Jonathan Leathem, one of my favourite Brooklyn authors.
