"In "Higher", Neal Bascomb brings to life the excitement of the city in the final, heady days before the Great Depression. He creates a tale as suspenseful as the race itself - and as dramatic as an ingenious last-minute flourish that would briefly give one building the title not only of tallest in New York, but tallest in the world, before another monument soared even higher." Check out the scans. . First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good Plus. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
