What I said about the AIA GUIDE TO NEW YORK CITY is the same I have to say about Guide to New York City Landmarks by New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission. I have been a New Yorker all my life and thought I'd known it all. There were buildings/structures that I knew to be older than most and probably landmarks, but never got around to checking them out. Then I picked up the Guide to New York City Landmarksby New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission sometime in 2003. Ever since, I have kept it with me at all times: in my back pocket, my briefcase, my jacket... Sometimes I go to some of these places in advance, with the intent of looking at them after I'd read about them. Other times, when on my way to or from work or lunch, I will see a building, stop, and look to read about what it is. My hunches aren't always correct, of course: not all the buildings I think are landmarks are. But I always keep this Guide on hand to find out.
A pleasant surprise

Sober, readable and comprehensive, all the matters are dealt with competence. A good beginning for people interested in the architecture and in the development of the city.
