There's not a lot of information in it... it's mostly a coffee-table book with a lot of artsy photographs. But worth picking up. Although there's a much better and more informative book on Coney Island that came out in 2002. I always see it in the "local" section at Cincinnati-area bookstores, and it's available on Amazon. EDIT: Oops, this is the Jacques book I'm referring to here...
If you can't find "Goodbye," my local library has a copy. I have no idea how that would help you, but hey, it's the thought that counts. ;) *** Edited 1/16/2004 4:19:54 PM UTC by Den***
Sue: There are so many books about Coney in NY... any suggestions on which ones to buy? Is the one that you mentioned good?
I don't think I'd pay 50 bucks for it but I could say that about a lot of books!
Jacques book is the one for a thorough written history. This one is good if you like arsty emotional pictures and unique views.
Call me crazy, but I just purchased the book for fifty dollars. I like pretty pictures :)
