a helpful and entertaining overview of NY skyscrapers
This latest in City & Co's useful series of "50 Best" books is one of its most entertaining. It is almost impossible to miss NY's skycrapers, due to their size. But we do not always take the time to consider them individually. Nash's text is very informative, if at times a little dry. The real delight of the book is Parker's illustrations. With a...

The pictures do not help to easily identify skyscrapers.
I ordered the book because I thought it would help identifybuildings in the New York skyline. The book lists and describesseveral buildings of interest but the accompanying pictures are sketches and do not allow for easy identification. It was a dissapointment and I am going to request a refund.

This latest in City & Co's useful series of "50 Best" books is one of its most entertaining. It is almost impossible to miss NY's skycrapers, due to their size. But we do not always take the time to consider them individually. Nash's text is very informative, if at times a little dry. The real delight of the book is Parker's illustrations. With a single smooth line he regularly captures not only the appearance but the soul of these majestic buildings. And his humorous drawing style more than makes up for any occasional overseriousness in Nash's prose. Together the two men make a fine team, and their book of these big buildings is itself a little gem. Buy one for a friend, a visitor, an ex-Manhattanite. And keep one for yourself
