A one-of-a-kind walking guide to Brooklyn, from the man who walked every block in New York City

Bill Helmreich walked every block of New York City--6,000 miles in all--to write the award-winning The New York Nobody Knows. Later, he re-walked Brooklyn--some 816 miles--to write this one-of-a-kind walking guide to the city's hottest borough. Drawing on hundreds of conversations he had with residents during his block-by-block journeys, The Brooklyn Nobody Knows captures the heart and soul of a diverse, booming, and constantly changing borough that defines cool around the world. The guide covers every one of Brooklyn's forty-four neighborhoods, from Greenpoint to Coney Island, providing a colorful portrait of each section's most interesting, unusual, and unknown people, places, and things. Along the way you will learn about a Greenpoint park devoted to plants and trees that produce materials used in industry; a hornsmith who practices his craft in Prospect-Lefferts Gardens; a collection of 1,140 stuffed animals hanging from a tree in Bergen Beach; a five-story Brownsville mural that depicts Zionist leader Theodor Herzl--and that was the brainchild of black teenagers; Brooklyn's most private--yet public--beach in Manhattan Beach; and much, much more. An unforgettably vivid chronicle of today's Brooklyn, the book can also be enjoyed without ever leaving home--but it's almost guaranteed to inspire you to get out and explore one of the most fascinating urban areas anywhere.

Fit just fine
Size: 72215WS
Not sure how to evaluate things like this, other than to say that it arrived quickly and it fit. As far as evaluating the quality, things I read online claim Bosch is one of the better filters. I'll buy more, I have an Ecotec engine and so do people I know.

Works as described but prime day price is 2X normal
Size: 72215WS
Good filter used several times for saab 9-3 2008. Works as advertised. I replace filter every 5000 miles. I was looking for a deal on prime day to find the price today is $9.68 and when I purchased in Feb and Jul it was $5.17 both times.

Great price, good quality.

I am regularly amazed how much I save on parts shopping on-line rather than locally. I like to support local, but I have a budget too.
