this is New York

If you did not read - saw it already, This is New York by Miroslav Sasek. He 'wrote' the book in 1960 and was reissued in May 2003. The drawings are really beautiful! He made similar books about Paris, Rome London and a lot more cities.

I come to a place like New York, for example, that I have never visited before in my life. I begin by going to see the things I've heard about or read about-- the monuments, the landmarks and particular places of interest. One thing leads to another until the book is completed. All I really do is run from my hotel to someplace and then back to the hotel! - Miroslav Sasek
