Description
Larry Racioppo is the Robert Frank of Brooklyn: a witness-with-camera to the city that once was, and the one that would be. We should all give thanks that he has taken the trouble to record it over so many years.---The late Tom Robbins, NYC Journalist Simply put, to do history is to tell the story of change over time. Larry Racioppo's photographs allow us all to be historians; though we all may notice different changes, and recall different times, everyone who picks up this book will be left marveling at the infinite stories that Brooklyn has to tell.---Dominique M. Jean-Louis Chief Historian, Center for Brooklyn History Brooklyn Public Library
