Product Description

Synopsis
In just the few years since the first edition of "New York Then and Now", the city has undergone important changes. The most dramatic was the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center. Since the loss of the twin towers, the island of Manhattan has continued to transform itself, with the renewal of entire neighborhoods, from industrial complexes to residential centers. This newly updated edition highlights the development of the city's lavish hotels, palatial department stores, skyscrapers, and condominiums, featuring historic photographs side-by-side with images of the modern cityscape.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seeing the city with eyes old and new, 25 Jul 2007
By Nicholas Casley (Plymouth, Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
The book follows the standard 'Then & Now' format with photographs from the nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries on the left with a view from the same spot (or almost) on the right from more recent years. (It amused me to see that the author has sought to copyright the 'Then & Now' format!)

The book starts at the tip of Manhattan and works northward. There are some very interesting historical photographs such as the cast-iron pedestrian bridge over Broadway and the huge Manhattan terminal of the Brooklyn Bridge that looks like a space-ship dropped down into City Hall Park.

Photographs cover the whole length of Manhattan, all the way to the George Washington Bridge. Each is accompanied by a short explanatory text.

A worthwhile book and a good price too. For those who know very little of New York and for those who think they know a lot, all will learn to see the city with new eyes.

I bought this for my best friend and she loved it! We went to NY a month before and it was great to see all the places we'd been to.

A great present - you won't be disappointed!
