Its a nice book for looking at his pictures, although I think "Naked City" has a lot of colorful writing about the pictures by Weegee. I haven't actuallly seen a copy of "Naked City" but its often quoted. There is a travelling exhibition of his work going around. Last I heard Kyle saw it in Philadelphia. I think there is a book or two associated with the exhibit. Its a nice exhibit but "Weegee's New York" has most of the photos and the reproductions are excellent.
