The Waldorf-Astoria had been open for just 8 years when this glowing tribute book was printed in 1939. It's a collection of 18 authored essays that examine every part of the structure. "The Waldorf is so complex and many-sided an institution, and ministers to so great a variety of social needs, that it seemed best to think of it -- much as a diamond-cutter might -- as a phenomenon of sixteen facets, each presenting a new surface to the beholder." Includes an opening statement by Herbert Hoover. An insider's view of the place and the people.
