greatest Financial Center.
Over 300 rich color plates plus informative text.
No one in finance should be without this book. Every Employee and customer
of each firm should have a copy now. This book embodies the beauty, strength
and resiliency of an extraordinary community.
On September 11, 2001 the face of Wall Street was tragically scarred, but its
spirit remains undaunted. Behind the noble buildings and long-established firms
are the men and women who constitute the financial world. These are the souls
that have resolved to maintain the greatest financial center in the world. The
World Trade Center towers were raised to house an industry that is one of the
most resilient ever devised by mankind.
This book portrays Wall Street at its best. The magnificent buildings, board
rooms and trading floors are a testament to the people and companies, both
American and international, who have created this unique financial capital.
Malcolm Forbes, Jr.
"The most complete portrait of the financial community ever published, with
truly first rate photography."
The Washington Post
"How rich in history, as the widely informative captions corroborate, and may
I emphasize that this is as much an engrossing test on Wall Street and its men
and institutions as it is a marvelous pictorial survey. In addition to its
great arks and ziggurats, Gambee seems to have missed few of Wall Street's more
picturesque chinks, corners and coigns, and the reader is led to each through
angles of vision which by most definitions known to me deserve the name of
artistry. It is all here: the banking houses, clubs, churches, the spires and
rotundas, the corner offices and trading bedlams which make up America's Rome,
its Nineveh and Tyre.
We recommend this book without hesitation!"
