Inside the Dream Palace: The Life and Times of New… von Sherill Tippins
Just as enjoyable as February House. I don't know why I waited so long to read this book.
Quite a substantial multi-biography, describing the people who were The Chelsea Hotel; it's architect, Thomas Wolfe, Dylan Thomas, Kerouac, Harry Smith, Kleinsinger (jungle on the top floor), Basketball Diaries author Carroll, Eddie (Andy Warhol), and many more.
