Reviews

New York Rising is the perfect book for readers who want their NYC history in short, clearly written and abundantly-illustrated doses. The quality of the reproductions in the book is particularly impressive; its design and layout, credited to Yve Ludwig, deserves special mention. The Durst collection is a wonder and the contributors and editors have certainly done justice to its remarkable scope in this new book.... this is a beautiful book and a useful addition to your New York history bookshelf. Its size makes it a coffee table book but don't let it sit on the coffee table. Move it to your bedside table, or wherever you put the books that you are really planning to read. --Brick Underground
