I really wanted to like this book. I invested way too many hours into it, hours I will never get back. A good editor could have lined out about 70% of this blah blah in this book, and some of that could have been used to have almost finished books on railroads, Philadelphia, and an assortment of other topics. This man should take a writing class, it would help him focus his efforts.

Does a good job covering the history of the Boardwalk but don't get it thinking it has anything more than a brief chapter on the time period of the tv show. Miss leading marketing at its best.
