Format:Calendar
When I opened the package I couldn't believe my eyes. The calendar is HUGE, both size and quality wise. The front page, an ashtounding view of Manhattan's sunset, just gives you a sneak preview of what's to come when you explore the rest of the pages. Amazing pictures of Central Park, exotic corners of the city, brilliant skylines, and a perfect review of the city's most known attractions. A must for every lover of the city that never sleeps, like myself. To complete the package it includes a full 12-months calendar poster displaying a great full view of the Statue of Liberty. Can one ask for more?
Format:Hardcover
This book could have been so much better if more interesting/livelier shots had been taken. I've slowly skimmed through it and some of the shots aren't that engrossing at all. I don't regret buying it, but the author could easily have made it better, though. Some of the photos seem to be 'fillers' to give the book it's thickness ..... not that it's that thick, though. A book worth buying if you're desperate to see what New York's like, but I wouldn't highly recommend it, though.

Never Seen Better!
25 Dec 2002
Format:Hardcover
I just got this book for Christmas, and it was by far the best gift. As a Californian who is in LOVE with New York, I could not have asked for a better book. The photos will leave you speechless, and longing for the city that never sleeps. I just spent 2 hours going through the different photos, and I can honestly say I have never seen a book that has done the city justice like this one. If you want a good book with photos that need NO explanation, this is it. I would not change this book for the world.

Breathtaking views of New York
25 Dec 2002
Format:Hardcover
I am not a big buyer of "coffee table books" but I made an exception for this one. The photographer is the brother of a boyhood friend of mine (Richard, if you're reading this, tell Jim I said hello!) and I got the book for my parents as a gift. I spent hours pouring over the incredible pictures thinking time and time again, HOW did he take THAT? I can only describe the pictures as breathtaking, sumptuous, and evocative of a New York that is all too easy to take for granted if you've lived in it. The pictures here make you see it anew.
