Reviews

[Tim · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a good little guide to some of NYC's literary locations. The number of important writers, editors, critics, and publishers who have lived there is probably enough to fill a much larger book, but this is a good place to start. I am using this for a walking tour I am leading.
