Coney Island: The History of New York City’s Most Famous Amusement Park Resort

Being a fan of roller coasters and amusement parks, I found this to be a great quick read. I have been to Coney Island, ridden the Cyclone, ate a Nathan's hotdog and walked among the ghosts of the ancient carnival folk and sometimes yearn to have been there when it was in its heyday. But, at least when I read about, it becomes easy to imagine what it must have been like.

I was really disappointed with this and am glad that I did not pay much for it. It told a little bit about how Coney Island started but nothing about present day Coney Island. It was so short that it was over just as it got interesting.

Nice book about the history of Coney Island; a little pricey for the content.

Nice overview of the history of Coney Island. Easy read, very interesting and amazing pictures.

Just a chronicle history of the place.

It brought me many memories love it

Interesting book about Coney Island. Had no idea of the history and found this quick read a great benefit before visiting there this summer.

Excellent details and fascinating information

As above as above as above etc. etc. etc. Just like this book yards yada yada, blah blah blah boring.

Excellent information on the early days of Coney Island!

A 45 minute read with very small pictures but still a very good book.

Looks like a book written in Word and printed at home in a home printer.Doesn't seem like a serious book
