These remarkable aerial photographs reflect both the beauty and the stature of the twin towers that were the crown jewels of lower Manhattan. A remembrance of the pinnacle of New York city's skyline, this volume also marks the beginning of the renewal to come. Includes five archival photos and eighteen full-color views.

NOT THE MOST MEMORABLE BOOK, BUT A MODEST PRICE!,
By
This review is from: World Trade Center: Tribute and Remembrance (Hardcover)
For someone who is not from New York, or even from the U.S.A, this book leaves us hanging when it comes to a complete accounting of the Twin Towers. No where in the brief 32 pages, does the book actually show us what the interiors of the Towers were really like or what life inside the Towers on a day-to-day basis was all about. Yes, there are some beautiful exterior photographs, but the book lacked information and detail. It seems that these days everyone is writing and publishing a memorial tribute to the tragic events of September 11. There are certainly a wide variety of more detailed, higher quality books in the marketplace than this one, and many are quite reasonably priced.

Well-intentioned tribute with some limitations,
This review is from: World Trade Center: Tribute and Remembrance (Hardcover)
Slim, photo-packed hardcover rembrance of the World Trade Center. Most of the photos (all in color) were taken in the August 2001 and are supplemented with some descriptive text. A few photos are included of the WTC's construction. The 2001 photos show the towers from nearly every conceivable angle and vantage point in and around Manhattan, but a more thorough tribute would have included some photos of the interior of the towers, the plaza in between, and probably a few views from the observation deck. Still, it's hard to be overly critical right now and the price is pleasantly non-exploitative.

Powerful Tribute!,
By A Viewer (Mt. Airy, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: World Trade Center: Tribute and Remembrance (Hardcover)
This book is tremendous...lots of great shots of the buildings from many different angles. Not just a tribute to the WTC, but to New York City itself. Amazing color and clarity - great views of surrounding structures, the water, etc. as well. Really makes the buildings come alive. I highly recommend this one!
