Not enough of a good thing
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
My only complaint is that the book was too short. There is so much interesting information about a topic that is much misunderstood that you find yourself wanting more. By far the best treatment of Sullivan County Catskills history.
Glad I found this book

This book has become harder to find in recent years and that trend is likely to continue. It provides a unique look at the county that gave us the Borscht Belt, Sid Caesar, Jerry Lewis, Danny Kaye, Moss Hart and many other entertainers, and served as a dumping ground for Murder, Inc. in the 1930s. This author has become the most respected authority on Catskills history writing today. Looking forward to his next work.
This book is great!

While in New York this fall I decided to buy this book. I sure am glad I did. I feel the author has really picked up on the way things were then. Things I had forgotten about. This was a good time, the area was buzzing, people were happy and had fun. You couldn't wait for summer to come, then you could not wait for it to be over! I loved growing up in the area. I have written a story about it too.
