Publisher's Notes
First Line: "By the end of the 1920s the island of Manhattan was the undisputed skyscraper capital of the world. Since the turn of the century its buildings had been forced to grow upward because of both the high cost of land and the desire to build as much rentable floor space as possible on it."
