Summary:
"Extra! Weegee! features 359 vintage photographs in vivid detail. Most of the photographs and all of the eyewitness accounts are published here for the first time. The photographs and stories presented originate from the Newspaper Enterprise Association archive, the parent company of Acme Newspictures. Recently uncovered, the works illustrated are complemented by the excitement of rediscovering a lost archive which has been missing for decades"--Front flap of dust jacket.
