Book Overview

Rising dramatically above all other skyscrapers at the tip of Manhattan, the World Trade Center symbolized New York. From any direction the Towers were lodestars, Manhattan's local mountains. Nearly a decade after the dark events of 9/11, New Yorkers continue to come to terms with the tragedy, and to reminisce about the views of the Towers they once had from their homes and offices. Visitors, too, are remembering how the WTC looked as they approached...

Made me nostalgic for the towers.

Beautifully done. This book has a unique, high-quality collection of photos of the trade center and a well-written introduction about the architecture of the towers and its meaning, as well as the changing public attitudes toward the towers over the years. Recommended.

World Trade Center Remembered

A beatiful book and a a very touching tribute to the World Trade Center. The pictures are stunning,unique and very moving. The dramatic pictures are from every vantage point in and around Manhattan. I know I will turn to this book again and again to remember how beautiful and majestic the World Trade Center was.

A beautiful WTC remembrance!

I love this book! It is full of lovely pictures of the World Trade Center, taken from every vantage point over a 27 year period. I was thrilled to receive this as a gift, since it vividly captures the towers as I remember them, and it doesn't include any of the horrific images of 9/11(just a picture of the NYC skyline, with the WTC gone, post-9/11). I have worked near the WTC and commuted through it for years, and am very pleased to have this book as a remembrance of better times. I really recommend it--the pictures are fabulous!

Absolutely beautiful pictures...

What a wonderful tribute to the World Trade Center. It is a book of little words, just striking photographs of the towers from many vantage points and a brief introduction by Paul Goldberger. It is a collection of photos taken over many years by renowned photographers Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo that were beautifully put together into four sections: East, South, North, and West.It is definitely a "must have" book. Like many New Yorkers I didn't have one picture of the WTC, yet I had visited numerous times and now I have many pictures in one great book to treasure.

A beautiful tribute!

This is a beautiful collection of photographs taken of the World Trade Center. The photographs were taken from various vantage points looking at the towers from the north, south, east and west. Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo do an excellent job of capturing the towers in their true essence; as architectural and structural marvels quietly but proudly standing watch over lower Manhattan while also serving as a point of reference and orientation for NYC residents and tourists alike. The photographs are crisp and clear; some of them are old some new, but always visually striking. Paul Goldberger's text is informative, well written and heartfelt without sounding trite or pretentious. The book also includes a nice publisher's preface and a touching photographer's dedication. Overall, a stirring photographic tribute that would add nicely to any library!
