Center for Southeast Asian Studies 1, 1998

A classic and noteworthy book.

A wonderful little guide probing many historic neighborhoods
Take a narrowed focus on Brooklyn, New York alone, put it in a tall but narrow pocket-sized take-along tote, add historic photos from the Brooklyn Historical Society along with maps and directions, and you have created a walking tour guide unique in its approach and scope, with The Historic Walking Tours: Big Onion Guide To Brooklyn.
