Libro perfecto!

Pedí el libro usado temiendo el estado en que llegaría, pero para mi sorpresa estaba totalmente nuevo, parecía nunca haber sido abierto. Respecto al contenido, es maravilloso, con textos útiles y una muy buena fotografía.

Excellent book for New York lovers!

This book is great. I love the walking tours outlined. It gives you a map, tells you how far each tour would be, how long it should take you, and what to stop and see. This pictures and background info on various sites is great and the history is great. I also love the way it's broken down be neighborhood. Many wonderful maps.

Excellent Book

This is an excellent book. It has everything anyone traveling to New York or even living in New York needs to know. This book contains maps of everything, including subways. It also takes you from the Villages to the Upper East and West Sides, from Lower Manhattan to Harlem and Central Park. I could never find a better book of New York if I tried.This is a must read for anyone traveling to New York, or just interested of learning about the Big Apple.

Beautiful presentation!

I bought this book so that I would have a resource for visiting friends. It has helped me plan numerous excursions as it lists the contact info and very often the hours and rates of most popular activities around town. The photography in this book is outstanding as well as the brief historical sections and the restaurant info.The only thing missing, in my opinion, is better information about where not to walk after dark and other pertinent details. For example, the author mentions that such and such street in the east village is so quaint and should not be missed, but I know that I would not want to be walking there after dark. The book is primarily a "pretty" guide, so if that's the type of guide you're looking for, then it's perfect.
