As I opened each page of this unique one-of-a-kind book, the realism and artist's talents took my breath away. Each page captures the reader's attention and transports them into each mesmerizing scene. Over 40 brilliant color illustrations depict the magic of the city. Each pop-up effect highlights events such as the lighting of the tree in Rockefeller Center, to experiencing George Balanchine's "The Nutcracker."

I was like a kid at Christmas as I felt my eyes light up when I discovered all that this book had to offer. This is truly a collector's item for those who have a love and appreciation for New York. It is a book that I plan to treasure for years to come, for it will enable me to go back to a city that holds a deep place in my heart. Very highly recommended.
