2 comments about New York's 50 Best Skyscrapers.
- I ordered the book because I thought it would help identifybuildings in the New York skyline. The book lists and describesseveral buildings of interest but the accompanying pictures are sketches and do not allow for easy identification. It was a dissapointment and I am going to request a refund.
- This latest in City & Co's useful series of "50 Best" books is one of its most entertaining. It is almost impossible to miss NY's skycrapers, due to their size. But we do not always take the time to consider them individually. Nash's text is very informative, if at times a little dry. The real delight of the book is Parker's illustrations. With a single smooth line he regularly captures not only the appearance but the soul of these majestic buildings. And his humorous drawing style more than makes up for any occasional overseriousness in Nash's prose. Together the two men make a fine team, and their book of these big buildings is itself a little gem. Buy one for a friend, a visitor, an ex-Manhattanite. And keep one for yourself

2 comments about American Country (World Design Series).
- This book has lovely photos and ideas. It's slightly different than most decorating books I've seen, as most books I've collected have shots of whole rooms, so that if you were renovating or decorating, you have complete designs to follow.
This book is more like an idea and feeling book, with close-up shots of doors, or walls, a tree seen from an indoor window, or a lamp, etc. - more like it's creating a mood. There are some "whole room" shots, but this book is more like a tapestry seen up-close to experience the slight variances in color, texture, mood and feeling. You may be a bit frustrated if you buy this to help you decorate your home country-style, as there aren't enough room shots. But due to the extremely low price, I wasn't as disappointed. It's lovely, but best saved for flipping through on a lazy Sunday morning with a cup of coffee, and your imagination to guide you to a day in the country.
- H.Ypma has introduced to me the beauty of American Country style. The chosen examples in architecture combined with the origin of the saltbox are very incisive. A great find
