Kalinsky, who has been chief photographer for Madison Square Garden since 1966, presents photos from the archives along with essays from 30 participants in the arena's history--including Billy Crystal, Roger Daltrey, Senator Bill Bradley, George Foreman, and Mary Tyler Moore. The photographs are arranged in sections and offer glimpses into the Garden's past--primarily as a boxing venue--as well as images of concerts, political conventions, sporting events, celebrities, and circuses. Pete Hamill contributes an introduction, and a list of 150 important moments in the Garden's history is appended; however, there is no index and the photos are not credited.
