Title: A New York sampler
Product review: Not quite an anthology, not nearly a history, and yet, in its own way, a very satisfactory sampler of New York culture and history. Introduced by the indefatigable Brooke Astor, "New York, New York; The City in Art abd Literature" gives you little tastes of the different eras, neighborhoods, and peoples that have populated this monumental city. Don't look for any depth or probing information here; this is strictly for the coffee table. Still, the quality of the prints and the printing is superior, and the literary selections are a little off the beaten path--which makes the book more interesting than one would think.
