I might have liked this book more had it not been the 3rd book in a row that I read about Coney Island (all three of my holds came into the library at the same time). This book concentrates more on the actual amusement parks than the other two books. The photos and reproductions are phenomenal; those alone make the book worth picking up.
This is a good anecdotal history of the area, filled with family photos. I was hoping for a little more depth but it is still a good resource and one of the few books that touch on the area's history.
