Loved this book. He did midtown justice and at the same time gave me the sort of look at the heart of NYC I have long desired. Thanks, jerry mcginn

Pete Hamill's Downton is part memoir, part history of New York, and all love letter to the city inwhich he was born and lived and worked. I'm so glad he chose to read this book because his rich, gravely voice is perfect. This book is a treasure, as surely as Pete Hamill himself.

An absolute treasure.
