Title: A pain on the eyes
Review: Besides being terribly uneven and unbearably long, "Tales of Gaslight New York" is simply reduced reprinted pages from old Harper's magazines. Reduced and reprinted = real hard on the eyes. The very fine print, in multi-column format will have you checking your eyeglass prescription. Unfortunately, as I said, the book is also incredibly long and not many of the articles included are unique. The only selections that have anything to recommend this are on the history of New York Police and on children's street games. But considering the price of the book, I cannot in good conscience advise anyone to purchase this.
