Review Quotes:

"Mr. Goodman has managed not only to give us a ripping good newspaper yarn but also to illuminate life in the nation's largest city in the early part of the nineteenth century. He also provides something of a treatise on the birth of modern mass-market newspapering."

-- "Wall Street Journal"
