Summary: Wonderful book for children and adults
Comment: I recently stumbled across this book in Sydney, Australia. Having never seen any of M. Sasek's books I was drawn to it instantly. The illustrations are beautiful. The text simple and engaging. Husband was just about to leave for a trip to New York so I purchased a copy to read to our 2 1/2 year old while dad was away. She loves this book! We have read it every night while dad has been away. Dad came home this morning with her very own statue of Liberty and Yankee's baseball cap. Dad read her the book again tonight with cap on head and Lady Liberty in hand. Wonderful book for even little ones to enjoy. Thoroughly recommend it. Have just ordered the rest of Sasek's This Is... series. Books to keep for a lifetime.

Summary: Lots of fun!
Comment: We are talking our grandchildren to New York and I can't wait to share this book with them on Christmas Day. I love the illustrations and the simplicity of the text. It will be fun to let them plan our itinerary.

Summary: Poor Job of Printing
Comment: Great book but a poor job of printing/scanning ("Printed in China"). My copy just arrived and all the images look washed-out, with blurry grays where there should be blacks. The copy I saw at the Tenement Museum bookstore in New York did not look like this. Very disappointing. Same for my copy of "This Is San Francisco" that was also part of this order. Bleh.

Summary: beautiful
Comment: Exclamations come to mind: beautiful design and drawings, comprehensive and to the point guide! And this goes for all his city guides Paris, Rome, Venice and Hong Kong. You might argue it is a bit old fashioned, but I think you are confusing it with "it s one of the Classics". And when something is called a Classic, it is timeless and a Must-Have! Trust me, it is worth your while and money!

Editorial Reviews:
Facsimile edition of a beloved, long out-of-print children's classic.

The charm and uniqueness of New York City was never more beautifully and whimsically created for children than in Miroslav Sasek's This Is New York. First published in 1960, his vision of New York nearly forty years ago still remains fresh: the hustle and bustle of Times Square, the ethnic neighborhoods, the awe-inspiring architecture. Sasek captured the essences of New York that delight children and parents, many of whom who will remember the book from their childhood.
