New York Sketches.,

This review is from: New York Sketchbook (Sketchbooks) (Hardcover)
I purchased this book because I had seen other sketchbooks by Fabrice Moireau, and loved them. I was disappointed in this one,and I believe his others (Paris, Loire Valley, and Venice) are much better than this. Although the sketches are fine, the text is weak.
Jerome Charyn, the person who did the text, may be very knowledgeable about New York City, but I felt something was missing. The other sketchbooks that Fabrice Moireau illustrated, also included a gazetteer that would provide more detail; this one did not. I feel this was significant ommission.

Painting the town,
This review is from: New York Sketchbook (Sketchbooks) (Hardcover)
On a recent visit to NYC I looked round a couple of bookshops for a sort of visual reminder book of the trip. Plenty to choose from and nearly all were photo books which looked like they had raided a photo library for dozens of ordinary stock shots. Fortunately it didn't take too to decide that the New York Sketchbook was the obvious choice. Fabrice Moireau's excellent watercolors seemed to sum up the city and Jerome Charyn writes some pretty succinct captions to the illustrations. What I liked about the book was the way its design made it look like a sketchbook. The landscape shape, thick matt paper, illustrations and the handwritten captions all contributed to the overall feel. Moireau's watercolors have just the right casual look though of course his style is very professional and competent. A very enjoyable book and just what I was looking for. ***FOR AN INSIDE LOOK click 'customer images' under the cover.

I just LOVE the Sketchbook series. Have purchased a whole number of them. This NY one is as lovely as the rest of them.
