Summary: Everyone's New York from the Post's Point of View
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed this fascinating look at the past 200 years of the greatest city on earth. The Post has always been a source of information and bizarre entertainment. (I'll never forget my favorite headline, "Headless Body in Topless Bar.") This book also gives the reader a look at the Post's venerable history.Recent events have shown the world the true spirit of New York City and it's people. Thank you, New York Post for this Paean to my home town. May the next 200 years be as much fun to read about!

Summary: Lots of history
Review: Obviously, 200 years is a lot of history. That's why you leave this book with a "I want more" flavor on your mouth. But this book has the most important happenings in the past 200 years of NY history -- including 9/11. It is something to read over and over, and to use as a history source, even for kids.

Summary: Great Headlines, great history
Review: Particularly for New Yorkers, this is the perfect "coffee table book." But it is more than just a collection of photographs. The rich content of this book shows how the New York Post is itself a part of the city that it covers. The 200 year time span covered in this book gives a full view of the best (and worst) moments in New York City history in the inimitable style that has become the Post's trademark.

Summary: Truly enjoyable view of New York history
Review: This is a book ideal for perusing. All the headlines, front pages, photos, and stories make for a unique view into New York's history. It is at the same time, entertaining, informative, and truly relaxing. Over the course of its history, the Post has covered the ideological spectrum from Left to Right, and this places fascinating interpretations into past and recent events. A couple of shortcomings ring loud: (1) There is weak writing (or editing), and (2) there should be a bit more depth to the history presented. Overall, however, this is highly recommended, especially for anyone interested in New York City, and those living here.

Summary: History Buffs and Take Note
Review: This will be a pleasantly surprising book for those unfamiliar with the long and, dare I say, glorious history of the oldest daily newspaper in the USA. Founded by Alexander Hamilton, the NYP went on to help shape New York City and even the nation, in substantial, surprising ways (the creation of Central Park, the candidacy of Lincoln, the founding of the NAACP, etc.). Page Six fans will be pleased too -- there are ample servings of dirt, scandal and snort-inducing headlines. In short: an informative, fun read. One small complaint: I would have liked to see 200 years worth of editorial/political cartoons included in the book.

Review: Whether you love or hate New York, you will love this book. Whether you love or hate the New York Post, you will love this book. I was surprised at how quickly I was taken in my the fabulous photographs and memorable headlines. It's a wonderful historical record of New York. It's also a wonderful historical record of the country. I could see history bufs, celebratory hounds and just about everyone being interested in it. It would make a great gift.
