Mixed feelings about the book. An interesting topic, and mountains of research clearly went into the book. But I felt like a lot of it was repetitive to the point where it really was aggravating.

Much better than the usual Publish or Perish offerings, but then, I geek museums and history in general. And, too, some of my very favorite NYC, DC, and Chicago offerings are all too well represented in this study. The major thing missing is visual representation of any sort. The publisher's blurb is a good teaser but hardly comprehensive.
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from NYU Press via NetGalley.
