Atkinson, J. Brooks. East of the Hudson. Limited Edition, Number 81 of 1,200 Numbered Copies. 1931. Book and dust jacket are both in very good minus condition—mild discoloration to endpapers, and jacket shows minor chipping.
This is a sublime book of musings on New York City written by the longtime theatre critic for the New York Times. He praises it as a “city capable of so much that you [are] surprised to learn it could not do everything.” There are chapters on the Bohemian utopia Greenwich Village (few other locales offer such a high level of enlightenment and “so little resistance to the common sense of life”), Central Park, Times Square, and much more.
