Product Description

Review
"Two kinds of people should have LOST NEW YORK -- those old enough to remember how New York once looked and those too young to know the New York they have missed."

Synopsis
New edition, expanded and updated with 118 new photographs, of a volume that reveals a fresh, true picture of New York as it has lived and grown. Both a testament to New York's past and a story of the vitality that makes the city continue to fascinate, the text and b&w photographs of residential, commercial, recreational, urban, and religious sites

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice but Could Have Been Much Nicer!, 26 April 2006
By A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
The original version of Silver's ode to New York City's architectural ghosts was compiled almost forty years ago, so it's nice that this revised edition was released in 2000, with a ton of new photos and revised text. It definitely belongs on the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in the modern history of Manhattan. That said, the book is very poorly designed and would benefit from a total makeover. The photo size and placement follow no discernable grid or system, and the text and photos often don't match up, forcing the reader to flip back and forth. More annoyingly, there's no standard system for captioning or dating the photos, except for an "Illustrations and Sources" section at the back. So, I read this book with one finger permanently stuck in the back so I could flip back and forth to get a sense of the eras I was looking at -- very cumbersome. It also would have been really nice to have a map at the front with the photos matched to it. While the photos are obviously archival, the reproductions seem curiously flat and fuzzy. This may be due to the uncoated natural paper the book was printed on, but they would benefit from the contrast a bright white paper would provide as well as new scans and some careful retouching work. So, this is a neat book, but could become something really excellent in the hands of a good designer.
