Rating: Summary: What Fun! Review: This is a fabulous paper construction that astounds me each time I open it. In addition to popups of the Brooklyn Bridge and other landmarks, the pages overflow with tiny newspapers, letters and magazines you can pull out and read. I grew up in the city, so it's even more fun to see it in paper. (My favorite? I think the Hirschfeld popup of the original cast of "Guys & Dolls.") A lot of fun, and one for which clean, dry hands are a must! Oh--the text aint bad either.
Rating: Summary: . Review: Very big book and good idea to do a pop-up book about NY. But the graphism is a bit poor. Nevertheless, it's difficult not to have it if you are a collectonor.
Rating: Summary: A 3D Explosion of Wonder for the 5 Boroughs! Review: Wow! Salerno captures the wonder and spirit of NY with a stunning work of art. Truly a masterpiece mixing works from the best of New York's writers (including Sam Roberts) with truly breathtaking paper engineering.Every New Yorker should have this book on their coffee table. A perfect gift for your favorite New Yorker. I couldn't put it down! I bought one for each of my children so they can keep it forever.
