Summary: A Wild and Crazy Decade
Review: ...All the excitement and desperation, the madness and creativity, the fun and the fatalities of that extraordinary decade are there. If you learn nothing more from it you will discover the Keith Richards always looked as old and raddled as he does now.

Summary: Captures The Excitement
Review: A fantastic document of a time and place like no other. New York in the Seventies was a thrill a second, and it seems like Tannenbaum was everywhere, taking beautiful clear pictures of everyone and everything. An exciting social document!

Summary: Sure Fire Party Starter
Review: I had this out during my holiday party last weekend and it was the hit of the night! I couldn't drag people away from it . . . the photos are really fun and sexy, but even better are the stories and memories they spark. All night people were saying "Oh! I totally remember that!" and launching into their own favorite stories from the 70s. Definitely my top pick for a coffee table book.

Summary: Allan's 1970s Guide to New York
Review: What Weegee was to photojournalism in the 1930s and 1940s, Allan Tannenbaum is to the 1970s. This volume of Tannenbaum's critical mass of New York's underside establishes him as one of the most important photographers of his time, in a city that has one of the most historic traditions of documentary photography.
