Some good books about Bellevue include Belleuue Is My Home , by Salvatore Cutolo, an assistant superintendent at Bellevue for nearly forty years (Doubleday, 1956); Belleuue , by Don Gold, a journalist who spent several months as an observer at the hospital in the 1970s (Harper and Row, 1975, now available in a 1983 Dell reprint); and An Account of Bellevue Hospital with a Catalogue of the Medical and Surgical Staff from 1736–1894 , by Robert Carlisle (originally published in 1893 and reprinted in 1986 by the Society of the Alumni of Bellevue Hospital).
