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 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
