This review is from: New York (Paperback)
I'm surprised no one has reviewed this HUGE NYC photo coffee table cover by Wolf. If you've ever been in NYC, you'll smell the air and feel the collective energy every time you open this glam monsterpiece!It features 30 borderless, full-page pix of New York City's iconic buildings/tops/details old and new -- plus *everybody* comments: Albee, Capote, Sartre, James, Johnson, Wolfe -- even an interview (!!) with Warhol. What a bizarro dream team to textify this testament to NYC's "immortality". The latter in spite of a few prominent pix (and withering architectural commentary -- hurrah!) of the late, symbolically lamented World Trade Center -- best shown as undifferentiated background for something precious. How can anyone ship this mutha out at all, let alone properly protected, for $3.49??? Try and make sure yours isn't bent/dented at outset or during shipping, then tip the seller on safe receipt (maybe suggest this arrangement to him/her beforehand?!?)....
