Captures the borough's vibrant diversity, blending striking photography and stories of its people, neighborhoods, and culture.

Forever Brooklyn is a book of stories. Some are told with words, but most are told with images. Much like Brooklyn itself, this is a book full of life, energy, and hope. At its heart, this is a book about people.

With more than 2.7 million residents, Brooklyn is the world in microcosm. It is a place defined by immigration and gentrification, where extreme wealth and working-class grit share the same subway line. It is a place where historic brownstones stand in the shadows of gleaming high rises and where family-owned bodegas sit alongside trendy boutiques. Brooklyn is many things at once: old and new, traditional and progressive, restless yet rooted. On a good day, Brooklyn is a whirlwind. On a bad day, a tornado. At any given time, it is both.

Photographers Liz Cooke and Andy Milford take readers from the gentrified neighborhoods of Park Slope and Williamsburg to the immigrant enclaves of Brighton Beach and Sunset Park, from the brownstones of Brooklyn Heights to the boardwalk in Coney Island. From street life to street art, Forever Brooklyn showcases the energy, diversity, and vitality that make Brooklyn, Brooklyn.
