By A Customer

This review is from: The Firefighting Buff's Guide to New York City: The Five Borough, Five Alarm Reference to the Second Homes of New York's Bravest (Paperback)

If you want the Joe Schneiderman guide to buffing NYC, than this is it. If you want an in-depth primer for the department or city in general, this is not it. I thought this book would be more of a reference or handbook given the title, but it is not. Mr. Schneiderman gives a heart-felt, personal opinion of his favorite firehouses from a series of personal visits. Personally, I was expecting something different from a title like that and thought it was misleading.

This book was a GREAT help. I went to NYC to fire buff twice & the book helped out a lot. I would recommend this book to anyone who plans on going to NYC to see FDNY ( trucks or houses). Joe GREAT job on the book!
