5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!, November 12, 1998

I found this book in a store and as soon as I saw it, I bought it! The artist for this book is great and there is a bird's eye map/drawing for almost every Manhattn neighborhood. Nearly an encyclopedia for New York Culture! Even if you don't plan on going to NYC soon, get this book if you enjoy architecture.

These Knopf Guides are fantastic. They are beautiful little books, they are not quick guides, they are conscious and indepth. The images are well presented and the text highly informative. This book on New York is especially good, New York is unique and lends itself well to a guide of this kind. Highly recommended.

We used this book on our first visit to Manhatten and found the book to be very helpful. After preparing for our visit with this book, I felt comfortable and a familiarity with the city.
