Okay but a bit basic - By: L. Barlow, 31 May 2007 
This is a good book, full of interesting information. The diagrams & pictures are useful. Overall though, it has the feel of a school textbook. The text is large & I feel I'm back at school reading it.
I do recommend this book, but personally I was looking for a more "grown up" book on the subject of New York's history.
