Product Description
Facsimile edition of a beloved, long out-of-print children's classic.
The charm and uniqueness of New York City was never more beautifully and whimsically created for children than in Miroslav Sasek's This Is New York. First published in 1960, his vision of New York nearly forty years ago still remains fresh: the hustle and bustle of Times Square, the ethnic neighborhoods, the awe-inspiring architecture. Sasek captured the essences of New York that delight children and parents, many of whom who will remember the book from their childhood.

 Lots of fun! November 24, 2007
We are talking our grandchildren to New York and I can't wait to share this book with them on Christmas Day. I love the illustrations and the simplicity of the text. It will be fun to let them plan our itinerary.
 Poor Job of Printing October 15, 2007
Great book but a poor job of printing/scanning ("Printed in China"). My copy just arrived and all the images look washed-out, with blurry grays where there should be blacks. The copy I saw at the Tenement Museum bookstore in New York did not look like this. Very disappointing. Same for my copy of "This Is San Francisco" that was also part of this order. Bleh.
 good find October 1, 2007
I am so glad to have found this book, it is from my childhood. New York Rocks.
beautiful July 5, 2007
Exclamations come to mind: beautiful design and drawings, comprehensive and to the point guide! And this goes for all his city guides Paris, Rome, Venice and Hong Kong. You might argue it is a bit old fashioned, but I think you are confusing it with "it s one of the Classics". And when something is called a Classic, it is timeless and a Must-Have! Trust me, it is worth your while and money!
Great book May 28, 2007
This is New York is a great book that shows the diversity of New York City.
