Ely Jacques Kahn (1884-1972), a prolific architect through much of the 20th century, is best known for his Art Deco skyscrapers which still dot the New York skyline. His forte was designing commercial structures with colorful and inventive exterior ornament and with deluxe lobbies, themselves masterpieces of Art Deco design. Many of the works from this period, the most interesting of his career and some of the best of their genre, are illustrated in this reprint. New York architects Françoise Bollack and Tom Killian have written an introduction to this work, the only monograph on Kahn published to date. They have added a list of Kahn's work designed between the two World Wars, the first such listing assembled. Included from the original volume is a selection of Kahn's essays from various sources. -- from book jacket.

Herbert Bayard Swope (1882-1958) was a reporter, foreign correspondent and newspaper editor: he spent most of his career at the New York World and was the first and three-time recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for Reporting. He knew virtually everyone, gangsters, socialites, ward politicians and American Presidents. Wherever he went he dominated the gathering by virtue of his height, his flaming red hair, his seemingly inexhaustible fund of information on all subjects and his unabashed enthusiasm for taking center stage. After leaving journalism in the late 1920s, Swope was at various times, and often simultaneously, a force in the Democratic party, adviser to politicians, financiers and industrialists, New York State Racing Commissioner, consultant to a Secretary of War, a founder and director of Freedom House, and confidant of Al Smith, Bernard Baruch and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He also gambled enthusiastically and for breathtaking stakes, and entertained lavishly. “[A] merciless exposure as well as a celebration of [Swope’s] career. Mr. Kahn has brought to his work the intelligence, polish and sophistication which have distinguished his 10 previous books and his New Yorker pieces... Mr. Kahn tells us more about Herbert Bayard Swope than we care to know... What saves this excellent biography, however, is that in digging up, sorting and assembling so impressive an array of material, Mr. Kahn has also given us an engaging, fascinating picture of only yesterday in New York.” — John Tebbel, The New York Times “Kahn's biography is perceptive as opposed to intimate, reflective instead of psychoanalytic... A thorough enough subtle, and well-written book.” — Kirkus

"Boak & Paris may not be a household name in most households, but this architectural firm was key to the development of apartment buildings that are among the finest in New York City. Annice Alt's book analyzes this firm and its exceptional buildings in detail and places them within the context of speculative real estate development. The book provides an important contribution to the understanding of the vernacular buildings that create the streetscapes that New Yorkers love and that give the city its unique character." Andrew S. Dolkart Director, Historic Preservation Program, Columbia University School of Ar chitecture, Planning and Preservation; author of the award-winning The Row House Reborn: Architecture and Development in New York City, 1908-1929 and Morningside Heights: A History of its Architecture and Development "Alt's thoroughly researched book provides new information and insights into the architectural work of Boak & Paris and Boak & Raad. It is a surprise to discover the wealth of buildings, particularly the apartment houses that they are responsible for. Many of the Boak & Paris projects from the 1920-30's employ interesting architectural terra-cotta elements. To revisit the apartments from the 1950s and 60s is a fascinating exercise. Fine period images are of great value in elucidating this quest." Susan Tunick President, Friends of Terra Cotta; author, Terra-Cotta Skyline: New York's Architectural Ornament "New York's architecture buffs can rejoice: Annice Alt has completed her monograph on Boak & Paris. The personal approach she takes in her writing--and extensive quotations from original sources--bring us into the adventure of her research, where we meet not just Russell Boak and Hyman Paris, but also such august architectural personages as Emery Roth and Gaetan Ajello, along with the clients--such as plumber-turneddeveloper Sam Minskoff--who kept them busy during the middle decades of the 20th century, turning Manhattan into an island of cliff dwellers. " Anthony W. Robins Architectural historian; author Grand Central Terminal: 100 Years of a New York Landmark and a guide t o New York City Art Deco architecture (forthcoming) "Boak was an unsung architect who was incapable of doing a bad drawing, a bad design. No one is comparable. Boak just had taste, he had class." Elihu Rose Vice Chairman, Rose Associates, Inc.
