On a recent visit to NYC I looked round a couple of bookshops for a sort of visual reminder book of the trip. Plenty to choose from and nearly all were photo books which looked like they had raided a photo library for dozens of ordinary stock shots. Fortunately it didn't take too to decide that the New York Sketchbook was the obvious choice. Fabrice Moireau's excellent watercolors seemed to sum up the city and Jerome Charyn writes some pretty succinct captions to the illustrations. What I liked about the book was the way its design made it look like a sketchbook. The landscape shape, thick matt paper, illustrations and the handwritten captions all contributed to the overall feel. Moireau's watercolors have just the right casual look though of course his style is very professional and competent. A very enjoyable book and just what I was looking for. ***FOR AN INSIDE LOOK click 'customer images' under the cover.
