praise
“Michael Steinberg’s book lovingly preserves an otherwise lost time and place; it transports us back to Brooklyn in the late 1950s so vividly that we can walk around, gawk, admire, and wince. A copy apiece should go into the collections of the Smithsonian and Cooperstown, but above all it belongs on the bookshelves of all those who appreciate honest, affecting, and funny memoirs about growing up.” —Phillip Lopate
