"It Happened in the Catskills"
by Myrna Katz Frommer & Harvey Frommer.
"An oral history in the words of busboys, bellhops, guests, proprietors, comedians, agents, and others who lived it." Illustrated throughout with period photographs, this book will be a treasury of nostalgia for those who spent a special summer or two of their own in the Mountains - and will delight and inform those whose only familiarity with the Catskills exists through hearsay or such moves as "Dirty Dancing." At once an album,. a celebration, and a chronicle, here is a book to make the Catskills and their legacy live.
