Like the neighborhood it describes, Kostelanetz's cheerfully episodic book is full of odd corners, secret alleys and sudden vistas.\" -Publisher's Weekly (on the first edition) \"Kostetlanetz's approach to the history of SoHo, with an emphasis on its heyday as a community of artists during the 1960s through the 1980s, is prismatic, covering all relevant perspectives: the history of the era, the rental laws of the period, the ethos of the community, the variety of physical layouts of the residential\/studio lofts, the sort of art being produced, the stores that opened and closed in the neighborhood, the daily rhythm of activity and quiet, the gradual discovery and invasion of SoHo by a wealthier population, the economics of the locale, the surrounding neighborhoods, and much more. The cumulative effect is a complex and encyclopedic portrait of a place and time in New York City history.\" -- -Joyce Morgenroth Cornell University \"Kostelanetz tells a great neighborhood story as important for understanding the past as for reinventing the future. Those thinking about New York City- the avant-garde, architectural preservation, urban planning, and American utopias-will find it rich and provocative.\" -- -Jane Mushabac co-author of A Short and Remarkable History of New York City, a \"Best of the Best\" of the American Association of University Presses\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArtists' Colonies in America       Artists Space       Barowitz, Elliott       Bayrak, Tosun       Castelli, Leo       Cast-Iron Architecture       Cooper, Paula       Dalachinsky, Steve       Dance (modern)       Deitch, Jeffrey       Dia Foundation       Fanelli's       Fluxus       Foreman, Richard       420 West Broadway       Holography       Interior Design       Karp, Ivan (O.K.
