I think there are better books about the history of suburbia, but the second half of Picture Windows was a great study of the original Levittown on Long Island. I especially appreciated the discussion of recent changes in the racial and ethnic demographics of Long Island, as well as the economic difficulties resulting from de-industrialization and illegal work practices. The authors present a more positive, though still critical, view of suburbia that is missing in most scholarship.
