■ "The Weegee Guide To New York" by WEEGEE

Weegee, a leading New York photographer of the 1930s and 1940s, is considered one of the photographers who inspired and influenced photographers not only in the United States but around the world. Born in 1899 in what is now Ukraine, he moved to the United States with his family in 1909. He lived behind the New York Central Police Station and was authorized to use the police radio, making him a photojournalist specializing in fires, traffic accidents, and murder scenes.

This book includes a map of New York City that records the time and location of Weegee's photographs, making it a highly informative resource.
