This, the story of Grand Central Terminal in New York City, begins with the historic struggle to save the station, followed by a chronological history of the site. The text and photographs provide a fascinating first-hand account of the $400 million restoration, enlivened by the stories that involve the great building.

"This is a work for aficionados of railway stations, architects or the intrigues of New York politics...precise, and often fascinating..."
Jonathan Cook, The Observer

"...unashamedly celebratory, but, given the superb results of the restoration project, one cannot begrudge a certain degree of self-congratulation."
Martin Filler, The Times Literary Supplement

"The pictures, especially in the historical section, are great. These give a hint of the vibrant and difficult past of this evocative space—where ‘real-life’ and fiction co-exist."
Calum Storrie, Building Design
