Francis Morrone has returned to the buildings of his original guidebook once again to detail additions and changes in name and usage, and the book has been modified to reflect post September 11th New York City. With its thoughtful detail and out-of-the-ordinary observations, this guidebook is a must-have for New Yorkers, tourists, and architectural lovers everywhere.

Covering some 600 buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn, this guide offers maps and descriptions of prominent and interesting structures. The author's own architectural judgments are often included. The relative lack of illustration (small black and white photographs of a minority of the buildings are included) suggest that the guide is meant to serve as a walking tour guide where the reader can compare commentary to the actual buildings of the two New York boroughs.
