I like the red ribbon. My favorite picture is the polar bear

This book truly captures the essence of New York at Christmas. Mr. Crosby has done a remarkable job of capturing the known and the unknown, both of which make Manhattan a spectacular place to be.

The presentation is wonderful, the content is great, and the author/photographer is to be thanked for sharing his art with us.

I look forward to future books by Mr. Crosby.

Being in New York at Christmas is one of my favorite things...and now I can relive that time whenever I pick up this book. The selection of subjects for the photographs is fascinating, the quality of the photography is excellent and the comments throughout the book are illuminating. I recommend New York Christmas as an ideal book for your library or as a gift.

This is an amazing piece of work which deftly displays a wintry charm that I never knew New York City possessed. It's funny that only by looking at familiar places through someone else's eyes can we really see what's there. Whether you're a New Yorker, a transplanted New Yorker, or just an occasional visitor, this wonderful collection of Christmastime photos surely deserves a prominent place on your coffee table. Hats off to Mr. Crosby for a job quite well done.

Don't worry if you don't reside in New York. This book is a must have if you like the images of christmas.

The book and it's many wonderful pictures depict christmas that many of us share no matter where you live.

If you want a real christmas mood setter and a beautiful coffee table christmas book to share with your visitors over the christmas holidays (and you and your own family too), then this book is one to get.

A most recommended christmas book.

I purchased this book in 1999. I display it every Christmas and look at it on a daily basis, if only for a moment of solitude. Some of the images give the impression of past centuries. It actually makes you delve deeper into the pictures, as I've looked up some of the old buildings and discovered a more intimate picture of New York of old. The twin towers on the cover, admittedly, give one pause to reflect on those we've lost.

Mr. Crosby has done a remarkable job of somehow grasping the essence of New York and sharing it in this wonderful Christmas collection. This amazing group of photographs is simply a necessity for anyone that has a hankering to catch the next plane or train to the City once in a while, especially in December. For those that don't know the story of the Author/Photographer, one that is touched on in the introduction, it is enough to simply say that he is truly a Renaissance Man. His modesty comes through in his explanation of the book's creation. This is one of finest books I have ever purchased and I look forward to one day meeting Mr. Crosby and saying, "Thank you sir for sharing your heart with us".
