Summary: Terrific Look At The Wonder Of NYC Buildings & Architecture!
Review: A great value, and amazing overview of 1,000 buildings from the world's leading architectural center! Including the greatest (Empire State, Chrysler, Woolworth...) to hundreds of smaller gems all over the five boroughs like St Nicholas Cathedral, the Hong Kong Bank Building, Trinity Church, 2 White Street, on and on...Yes, the destroyed World Trade Center is also included.And Some nice commentary.A can't miss book! My only (very minor) criticisms are (1) All the photos are black and white (color would probably too costly), and (2) some structures are only shown by a facade or small ornament...In any event, a real treasure!!

Summary: 1000 New York Buildings by Harris et al.
Review: This book is a good historical compendium of New York architecture at its best. It depicts clear photos of the Narrowest House, The Church of the Holy Apostles, the Art Studying League and the famous Swedish Cottage. The work would be invaluable to a wide constituency of historians, architects,
political theorists, travel agencies and tour guides. It is a
worthy purchase for the price charged.
