'THE PLAZA' BY JULIE SATOW
A glamorous New York landmark gets the biography it deserves in this detailed history by a New York journalist. All the Plaza Hotel's colorful guests and owners (including, yes, Donald Trump) are here, along with the fictional "Eloise," and juicy stories from bellmen, maids, cooks and other staff. It's the portrait of a storied hotel and a bygone Manhattan. (Twelve Books, out now)
