Though always iconic, New York City's famous skyline has changed dramatically over the years. Once no taller than downtown's Trinity Church, it became a mountain range of magnificent skyscrapers by the first half of the twentieth century. In 2001, the tragic fall of the Twin Towers left a void in the city's skyline. Today, the majestic Flatiron, Chrysler, and Empire State Buildings still make New York one of the most recognizable and exciting metropolises in the world. From the Statue of Liberty to Central Park, from Rockefeller Center to the South Street Seaport, the past and present photos in this compact edition of New York Then and Now offer a geographic and historic tour of the city's most spectacular sights. Covering Wall Street, Greenwich Village, Times Square, and neighborhoods throughout Manhattan, this completely revised and updated, compact edition offers fascinating stories about the buildings that have come and gone, and sites that have been remarkably transformed or thankfully preserved.

Explore the vibrant literary scene of New York City through stunning photography that captures its iconic bookshops, charming restaurants, and significant literary landmarks. This visual journey immerses readers in the neighborhoods that inspired countless authors, showcasing the unique blend of culture and creativity that defines the Big Apple.

The book features a unique promotional opportunity, including signed limited prints of iconic photographs for booksellers and librarians. Additionally, readers have the chance to win a helicopter ride with the author, Joseph, over Manhattan, offering an exclusive experience that enhances the connection to the book's themes and visuals.
