Softcover. New London NH, Sunapee Editions, 1st, 1998, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, oblong format. Dozens of compositions comprise this exquisite collection of black and white photographs that evoke a Manhattan that many may never see or notice: Times Square during the blizzard of 1996; pigeons in flight at 9th Street and Avenue A; an unmoored boat in a wintry Central Park; jump seats in a Checker Cab. John Rosenthal doesn't ignore the people (or the dogs) of Manhattan, however, and also captures the diversity that is New York; Hare Krishnas singing, as an unimpressed (annoyed?) man in a checked jacket walks by them; a man in beret and raincoat and an albino boxer looking at some off-camera sight at Tompkins Square; a shopkeeper and his dog on East 9th. Clean copy.

Softcover. Bowie MD, Heritage Books, reprint, 2001, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 425 pages. A facsimile reprint of the 1904 edition. Volume 1 ONLY. The present-day New York City neighborhood of Harlem was founded in the mid-17th century by Dutch Protestants, whose numbers included Huguenots (or their descendants) who had fled the counter-Reformation in France and the Walloon provinces of Artois, Cambresis, and Hainalt. Riker's Harlem is an extremely detailed historical and genealogical account of Harlem from its establishment by Kuyter and Stuyvesant between 1656 and 1660 to the end of the 17th century. Following several preliminary chapters on the Dutch and French context for the settlement of "New Haerlem," the author treats us to what seem like minute-by-minute accounts of its colonial development, including early efforts to settle the territory that became Harlem, the original land patents and their subsequent rearrangement, Indian wars, displacement of Dutch rule by the British in 1663 (and the brief reoccupation by Dutch forces in 1673), 17th-century village life, migrations to New Jersey, influx of Swedes, difficulties in assimilating English ways, and much, much more.

Softcover. Cambridge MA, The MIT Press , 1st, 2021, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Softcover, 373 pages. A history of New York subway passengers as they navigated the system's constraints while striving for individuality, or at least a smooth ride. When the subway first opened with much fanfare on October 27, 1904, New York became a city of underground passengers almost overnight. In this book, Stefan Hohne examines how the experiences of subway passengers in New York City were intertwined with cultural changes in urban mass society throughout the twentieth century. Hohne argues that underground transportation--which early passengers found both exhilarating and distressing--changed perceptions, interactions, and the organization of everyday life. Clean copy.

Hardcover. 1st, 2010, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover with cover pastedown, gilt lettering. The amiably spontaneous pictures taken by Sam Shaw (1912-1999) are well known: the native and life-long New Yorker shot countless cover photographs for Life and Look in the fifties and sixties, and later also took the still images for the films he produced himself. Shaw and Marilyn Monroe were friends, and he captured her unique aura in countless unpretentious portraits. During the filming of The Seven Year Itch, he staged his probably best known picture with her: Marilyn standing over a subway grate, a waft of air blowing the skirt of her white dress above her knees. Sam Shaw also portrayed almost every major Hollywood star of his day, consistently capturing the moment in his quest for truthfulness, with enthusiasm and from a new perspective, just as if he were selecting the camera angle for a film sequence. The researcher and author Lorie Karnath, the book's editor, enhances the publication with very personal memories of her long-time friend.
