This dynamic visual history of the world's largest transit system -- in all its intriguing, colorful, and even seedy glory -- is packed with fascinating facts and hundreds of compelling photographs.
When the first New York subway line opened in 1904, it was the most advanced in the world and a source of enormous civic pride. Today, it is an essential function to the lives of New Yorkers and a perennial cultural touchstone. To be a New Yorker is to take the train. To celebrate it, or grumble about it.
Subway: The History, Curiosities, and Secrets of the New York City Transit System by John E. Morris is both a vivid history of this great transportation system and an exploration of its impact on the city and popular culture. The book covers every remarkable moment, from the technical obstacles and corruption that impeded plans for an underground rail line in the 1800s, to the current state of the system and plans for the future; profiles of the colorful, forgotten characters who built and restored the subway; graphics and imagery showing the evolution of subway cars and the way fares are collected; how subway etiquette rules have evolved with society; great subway chase scenes and songs about the subway; a look at abandoned stations and half-built tunnels; and more.

In this visually stunning work, packed with original research, journalist and bestselling author John Morris brings life to this one-time engineering marvel that has united and expanded the city for the last 116 years. p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Calibri}

Perfect. A must have!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Nude
Perfect fit! After 2 battles with breast cancer and breast reconstruction I find it very difficult to find strapless or any bra for that matter that fit and are comfortable … this bra not only fits it stays put! I have purchased some pricey ones in the past but this gives a lot of bang for your buck. I also love the fact it stays in place- has rubber like adhesive that sticks to your skin and has no wires. I feel mangled after basically being amputated by a double mastectomy- I worry about the bra falling down exposing the fact I have no “nips” because cancer took all that away from me. Additionally, I like that it comes with removable straps for adjustability for extra support if needed. The quality seems to be good but I have yet to wash, just like any bra - gentle cycle wash and a flat air dry will extend the life of the bra.

Doesn't slip down
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black
Holds up very well for day to day work and doesn't slip down. Came with straps as well. Material feels great. I would base sizing off of your usual band size more than cup. Got a XXL when measured I'm usually a 38B or 36C and those sizes are too small to be comfortable and it said I'd match with a large so I went up based upon my bra experiences. Pink color isn't really a good pink tone more closer to nude and dull if anything. But all the other styles and colors are great. It feels very supportive and covers all the right places while smoothing out back rolls. It's a good stretch when you put it on to and then conforms to the chest. Pads are a little over the place but they're removable so that's expected.

An excellent strapless option
Size: XX-Large, Color: Nude
Extremely comfortable! It didn’t slip down like some do, so I don’t feel the need to tug it up. Felt like I wasn’t wearing anything at all. I also like that it comes with optional straps. Great coverage. The two things to watch for is the top seam is a little thick, so it won’t work under thin tops, and the pads will move around, but they are easy to adjust or remove. On the whole I find this a great fit and easy to wear, at an excellent price point.

Great!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Nude
REVIEW FROM A REAL PERSON WITH NO FINANCIAL INCENTIVES This is my first time ever wearing a strapless bra and I really like this one! It's very comfy and feels like wearing any other sports bra just, well, without the straps (though they do include straps in the box that you could attach if you wanted). I'm somewhere around a 40DDD and got a 2x and it fits well, though I did wear it to work one day and by the end of the day, it did feel like it was digging/squeezing into my side a bit too much (however it had been 10hrs by then). The bra IS stretchy but if I were really any bigger, I think I'd want to go to a 3x. Only very minor issues with it slipping, nothing even close to where I was worried anything was going to pop out or anything, even after being out in 90F heat.

Stays in place
Size: Medium, Color: White
I’d give the Letts Jolli Push-Up Strapless Bra a solid 3 stars. The fabric quality is actually really nice—it feels soft, smooth, and comfortable against the skin, which is a big plus for something strapless. It also does a great job staying in place. I didn’t have to constantly adjust or worry about it slipping down throughout the day, which is usually my biggest concern with strapless bras. That said, the “push-up” aspect was a bit disappointing. It didn’t really provide much lift or enhancement like I expected, so if you’re looking for noticeable cleavage, this might fall short. Overall, it’s comfortable and reliable for staying put, but it doesn’t quite deliver on the push-up promise.
