A new book that collects the best of his work, Fred W. McDarrah: New York Scenes, is one that some people, myself very much included, have been awaiting for a long time.
It's a book like few others.

To the details in Fred W. McDarrah: New York Scenes, attention has been paid. Mr. Wilentz's introduction is a seamless blend of the personal . . . . and the historical. An afterword, credited only to McDarrah's estate, fills in the grainier details of the photographer's legacy. Best of all are this book's captions, edited by Richard Slovak. They are compact but resonant. They take you places you don't expect to go. -- New York Times
