For any history lover of New York City, you'd love this book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
A friend of mine introduced me to New York Then and Now (Compact) (Then & Now Thunder Bay), and I was absolutely floored by the book. In it is so much history, pictures that compare how buildings and places in New York City (Manhattan) of old compares to the new, with reference to the persons, places, and things that made and continue to make New York City the mega-metropolis that it is. The writing is crisp, clean, and to the point. Landmarks are explained. The old mansions either continue with new life, or are flattened in place of new developments. I found the entire passage through time--back and forth--fascinating and a must-read. And so, following my own advice, I have placed it on my bookshelf with pride and satisfaction.
Great coffee table book

A very nice book for anyone who likes New York City. Lots of great pictures from the current day side by side pictures from the early 1900's. A definite must for anyone who is interested in the history of New York City.

This was purchased as a gift for my son who loves going to New York. He loves books and was very happy with this one. I am pleased in the timely manner in which it came.
Compact Version is Cute and Fun

Unlike the other reviewer of this book, I was fully prepared for its size and wanted to purchase it after seeing it in a store next to a "full-size" edition. This is the trade paper version, the other is hardcover with a jacket. Both are beautiful. One serves as a coffee table book, the other is a cute flip version/stocking stuffer. I love NY.
