Oh so well done! I am stunned and delighted by the range, depth, and quality of the material covered - from the Dutch, to today, and beyond. Along with the very interesting history of the High Line itself, Kitt weaves together geography, trade, technology, architecture, important personalties, and lots of fun trivia. Helpful maps and photos support every aspect. Thank goodness it can be downloaded to enjoy again, which I certainly will do. What a value.
