Highly recommended-you must check it out!!! Really!!
"After seeing this author's Facebook page and reading the little stories, I decided to get the book for myself. When I saw that one of my friends liked the page as well, I decided to buy them a copy as well. So far of what I've read has been exactly what I thought: perfect. The photos and the stories, whether sad or happy, is what makes it a perfect combination. My friend opened up the present and she was mad speechless. She actually had wanted this book for quite a while and she said I wouldn't be able to top next Christmas! So I guess I did good!!!"

"This book is so interesting! I love that it shows how open and eager New Yorkers are to share their stories with someone they just met. The photographs are high quality, the stories and quotes are intriguing, and they sometimes bring a smile to my face or make me laugh. In this book we see and read about the lives of immigrants, parents, entertainers, students, kids, etc. I keep looking back at the pictures and they never get old. To me, it shows the beauty and sense of community in New York City that not everyone knows about."

A great coffee table book you will read every sit down!
"If you are looking for a human mosaic of the most celebrated, recognized, trashed, admired, and greatest city in the world, this is a book worth embarking upon. Truly entertaining and educational and all done with photos. The beauty of this book is that each and every reader can create their own story based upon the feelings evoked by each photograph. In fact, every time you pick it up, I believe you will create a different story for yourself. It is pure delight."
