"From the domain of birds on the wing," George Plimpton says of this magnificent perspective of America's first city.

The man-made canyons of Manhattan are explored building by building, with New York Times architectural critic Paul Goldberger as your guide. The high drama of the Statue of Liberty, of the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center, of the parades and the parks and the playing fields is matched with rare aerial shots from the past.

Hardcover, 11" x 14", album bound, 160 pages, printed on acid-free high-gloss paper.
