Title: Missing much of the history
Product review: I enjoyed the Deco Dowager, as I grew up on Miami Beach and am fascinated by the area and the architecture. What disappointed me in this book, is that the author ended her history of the hotel in the early 50's and didn't pick it up until the 80s.I realize that the area was not in its prime during her "missing years" but something certainly must have occurred. Who owned it? What did it look like? What happened there?Certainly the book would have been better served with more history of the hotel (and photos) along with the author's "potential realized" with celebrities.
