And boy, has it bloomed!"<br> --Newell Turner, editor in chief, Hearst Design Group <p/> "Brooklyn's cutting-edge creativity, beauty, and bold self-confidence are well represented in this extraordinary book of Brooklyn design.

We all know that Brooklyn has drastically changed in the last few years, but it's rare to get the opportunity to peek into some of the private homes or have the luxury of time or money to check out <i>all</i> the new public spaces--restaurants, bars and hotels--that have popped up around the borough . . . It gave me a new appreciation for the sheer volume of design happening in Brooklyn every day." --Amy Azzarito, <i>Design*Sponge </i> <p/> "Quirky, spirited, surprising and useful--brimming with charm and delight."<i> --New York Times Book Review</i> <p/> <br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Anne Hellman</b> is a Brooklyn-based writer and editor.
