Rock Book

Daniel Okrent has written a new book called Great Fortune: The History of Rockefeller Center. Here's the first chapter. Wish I had some of the pictures to show you.

The newest Land's End Christmas catalogue of all things, features a big spread about the book, with great pictures of sailors ice skating at the Rockefeller Center rink during the war, Rockettes doing their thing and the Christmas tree all lit up. It is a great place to get in a holiday mood.

I didn't need Land's End to remind me. I have been there many times before Christmas. New York's a perfect Christmas town.
