Brooklyn Then and Now®

Viewed together as a former Brooklyn family. Animated discussion of vivid memories.A treasure!

Bought this for a friend birthday. His Irish family family lived in Brooklyn Heights, my Italian family lived in Bensonhurst. Fun nostalgic look back at Brooklyn of yesteryears compared to current-day Brooklyn.

Gift for my pulmonologist who along with his wife are Brooklyn born & bredHometowns are always nostalgic.

Absolutely LOVE this hardcover Brooklyn table book. The photos and stories are so amazing! I loved learning about Brooklyn and seeing such fabulous photos. I never want to put it down!

Awesome, if you are from Brooklyn like me, you really appreciate it. I saw all the places I lived, worked, ate and showed them to my grandkids.

I bought this for a gift and the recipient was very happy! She went through the book and showed me pictures of buildings from the late 1800s there still there. It brought her a lot of joy.

I wish I could share the enthusiasm some of the other reviews have, but I found this book somewhat disappointing. There are some interesting shots, yes, but many of them are stock photos you've already seen if you own earlier books on the subject. I also would have preferred less shots of scenes that haven't changed from then to now. Additionally, all the "now" pictures were taken in the summer, so in many instances trees obscure almost the entirety of what the photographer means to showcase. What's the point of that? Why not wait a few months so that the scene is visible? It exemplifies the somewhat slapdash feel of this book.

I buy a lot of these books. I really liked this one because many of the "now" photos are just as I remember them in the 60's and 70's of my youth. Brings back strong , wonderful memories. The "then" scenes are wonderful archival quality prints.This (used) book arrived in the "very good" shape promised.
