A Blast From The Past

The book brought back memories of good times.Nice to see some things that are no longer around, especially when the things put up after were not as grand.Sorry I didn't save my old postcards.

What Was Once Lost ...

Kennedy's book has brought to life the New York that I've only heard about. Lost New York in Postcards sparked memories from everyone in my family and made Christmas 2001 a very special day. The brilliance of the illustrations and the charm of the narrative make this a book worth owning.

Beautifully crafted view of the New York I never knew!

Kennedy's collection brings to life the old New York I never knew, but now wish I had... The graphics are fabulous, and, together with the well-executed captions, provide insight into what this magnificent city was like in its hey-day. Well worth the price! The book is as colorful as the city it paints -- and Kennedy's love for New York shines through on every page.
