This is a very complete book on the who, how & why that created the K.O.P. shopping area which became the most mammoth Mall in the east, by a thoroughly competent Scrivener! If you're from the area you have undoubtedly been there, or, like many, obsessed with the mall! The photos and ads will take you back in time. This is required reading for anyone from around here, especially if you observed (like myself!) the progression of the expansion!! A terrific read by Michael Shaw!! GREAT BOOK, get it
