Much under-rated in favor of its famous neighbor Manhattan, the architecture of Brooklyn gets the attention it deserves in this thorough guidebook. Morrone has written two other city guidebooks; he lives in Brooklyn and leads architectural tours. The guide contains maps of each area, complete coverage of its notable architecture, and biographies of the architects. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
