"The central theme of this book is Danbury's unlikely transformation from being the proud capital of the nation's hat manufacturing industry into the hub of a region that Money magazine in 1983 ranked among the ten best places to live in the entire nation ... examines the craft and business of men's hat making in Danbury, tracing the decline of the industry ... and ... explores the burst of fresh energy that accompanied the introduction of high-tech industries in the postwar decades and the corporate boom in the 1970s and 1980s."
