The Story of the Waldorf Astoria is a comprehensive historical account of one of New York City's most iconic hotels. Written by Edward Hungerford, a journalist and author who covered the hotel extensively during its early years, the book delves into the Waldorf Astoria's origins, construction, and evolution over time. The Waldorf Astoria was originally two separate hotels, the Waldorf and the Astoria, which were merged in 1893 to create a grand luxury hotel that quickly became a symbol of New York City's opulence and glamour. Hungerford traces the hotel's early days, including its famous guests and notable events, such as the birth of the Waldorf salad and the first-ever charity ball. The book also covers the hotel's major renovations and expansions, including the construction of the current Waldorf Astoria building in the 1930s. Hungerford describes the hotel's role in World War II, when it served as a headquarters for the US Army, and its later years as a hub for international diplomacy and high society events. Throughout the book, Hungerford weaves in anecdotes and stories from the hotel's past, bringing to life the personalities and events that have shaped the Waldorf Astoria's legacy. The Story of the Waldorf Astoria is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of New York City or the evolution of luxury hospitality.

Large clutch purse!
I was surprised at how large this clutch purse is. It is roomy. It seems sturdy. If you want a hand size clutch this isn't it, but if you like closer to a small purse this is more the size. I will be using it for a family gathering and can't wait to use it with my coordinated sunglasses and outfit! Definitely a good price!

Silver chain isn’t great but love the clutch!
Color: Khaki
I needed a simple clutch to match silver jewelry, I’m really happy with this one. Doesn’t fit much but has two magnetic clasps to keep your things safe. The silver chain was too industrial almost looked like metal fencing - I trashed it, but the silver handle is beautiful as a clutch.

This bag is stunning. High quality. It also has a beautiful gold chain. Totally dressed up my outfit for a evening in Nashville. So many compliments.

Very pretty
This clutch is very pretty. Definitely a "going out" to an event clutch/bag. The silver handle and chain are beautiful. My only struggle is the size. You cannot fit a lot of stuff in here. But, this would be a "special event" bag, so, you really aren't going to walk around with your every day necessities in this bag. You can fit a cell phone, lipstick, a super slim credit card holder, that hold a credit card/s and bank card/s. If you try to put more things in here, it will not close. I do still recommend 100%. It's a really, really pretty bag.

I returned it
Cute purse, but the material used was cheap-looking. The storage and size were great, but the material .... not so good.
