Humble Bumbles' Baby Journal: A Keepsake Journal for Baby's First Three Years (featuring the adorable Humble Bumble characters) Review

I had to write to point something out for those who may have read other reviews about the religious undertones of this book. I am not particularly religious, and I did not want a book with a lot of religious undertones. However, this book not only contains Christian Bible verses, it also contains quotes from other sources like Judiaism, Hinduism, and just general quotes from recognizable scholars and the like. The phrases are also usually on the bottom or top of a page in small font away form the specific areas where you put pictures and write, so they're not staring you in the face every time you turn a page, or at least that's how I feel about them. Besides, even as someone sensitive to stuff like that, I think the most important thing in any of these books is what you do to them to make them special - not what's already been done.

The Story of 42nd Street: The Theatres, Shows, Characters, and Scandals of the World's Most Notorious Street

The Story of 42nd Street: The Theatres, Shows, Characters, and Scandals of the World's Most Notorious Street Review

Having written a history of the development of New York's commercial theatre from its beginnings in Lower Manhattan to its explosive growth in the midtown area, Mary C. Henderson has now wisely focused her new book on what is probably the most famous theatre street in the world. A fascinating history told in prose and pictures.

The Story of 42nd Street: The Theatres, Shows, Characters, and Scandals of the World's Most Notorious Street Overview

Quick! In the heart of little old New York, you’ll find a thoroughfare—what is it? Forty-second Street, of course! In this entertaining book, noted theater historian Mary Henderson traces the rise and fall and rise of the street that symbolizes the Broadway experience. The first theater went up in 1899, and by 1920, there were twelve stretching from avenue to avenue, plus a flow of trolleys, a subway stop at each end, and a never-ceasing bustle of activity in between. The 1920s and 1930s were the golden age, fueled by Hollywood movies and Damon Runyon stories; then there were the war years, when every American soldier and sailor paid a call. After the war, the slow decline of 42nd Street, lined with peep shows, symbolized decay. In the 1990s, as theaters were renovated, the street was miraculously reclaimed. The Story of 42nd Street captures the colorful characters, shows, scandals, and stories of this uniquely American dreamscape.
