Reviews
"In 740 Park, Michael Gross penetrates the bewitching and private worlds of the privileged and very rich denizens of 740 Park Avenue on New York's Upper East Side. Gross, a born storyteller, delights in his tales of upstairs and downstairs over the decades in the grand building. This is social history at its best."--Dominick Dunne

"740 Park is a concrete capsule of American capitalism as seen through the fates, fortunes, and foibles of its inhabitants. This biography of New York's most magisterial building is an immensely entertaining, dishy, and ultimately serious book."--Jane Stanton Hitchcock

"The Lolita of shelter porn . . . 740 Park delves into the rarified world of one of the city's most exclusive co-ops, where billionaires like Ronald Lauder, Steve Schwarzman, and David Koch rest their heads."--Michael Calderone, New York Observer

"Jaw-dropping apartment porn."--Fortune

"Gobs of real-estate porn."--The New York Times Book Review

"[A] great read . . . gossipy . . . revealing."--People

"As rich as his subjects."--Forbes FYI

"Life after folly-filled life flashes forward like Park Avenue canopies viewed from a speeding town car."--The New York Times

"Finally! A look inside the golden tabernacle of high society."--Kitty Kelley
