A fact-and-fun-filled illustrated book that celebrates the greatest city in the world and its oldest, continuously published newspaper. Since 1801 the New York Post has been covering New York City with the kind of wit, panache and "in your face style" that readers have come to expect. Packed with photos, unforgettable headlines, historic news events, spectacular sports stories, infamous scandals, scintillating gossip, political cartoons Broadway and film reviews and more, the book is as energetic and intriguing as New York itself. As the oldest continuously published daily paper in the United States, The New York Post has seen it all and covered it all. Check out the Post's role in creating Central Park and read the famous obituary of Post founder Alexander Hamilton - killed in a duel with Aaron Burr. Vintage ads, anti-slavery editorials, notorious crimes including the Son of Sam murders, the unforgettable blackout, John Lennon's assassination and the Wall Street crash of 1987.
