Fun Find: Free PDF of Coney Island Book
![](http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7822/2842/400/coneyisland.jpg)
The writer is someone named Professor Solomon whose gotten some notice as a "finder of lost objects" and has published a number of books via Penguin and others.

There are also a number of interesting old photos in the book, as you can see by a couple we've ta

You can find the book by clicking over to his website and then, clicking for the download. (We're not going to include the direct link, because clicking it opens a 45 meg PDF download, and possible tragedy if you're operating on a creaky old system or with a dial-up.)
So, if you dig Coney Island and you haven't come across the this book in perusing the other volumes of Coney Island history and image's, this one, which has an original publication date of 1999 is definitely worth a download.
Thanks for the e-mail, Professor.

Hi Gowanus Lounge-
It's a great book about Coney Island. The author's name is Michael Solomon. His brother's name is Steve. The book will be a great read for people with a history of going to Coney Island and also educational fun for those with not much knowledge about the place.
