Summary: Transformation Captured in pictures
Review: This small volume is a photo essay that really captures Times Square during various stages of the 20th Century as the title claims. The pictures are fabulous with some wonderful page to page contrasts of the same views years apart. As someone who grew up near Times Square I found the photos from the 50's and 60's particularly striking since they reminded me of buildings and landmarks that are now gone. This is no comprehensive history just a nice collection of pictures with some commentary but I think it was worth having in my collection.
