World Trade Center Tribute and Remembrance

For over twenty five years they stood as sentinels at the gate of New York City and we took them for granted. When they were first built, every body complained. I called them two stacks of saltine crackers. Now, that they are no more, we only remember them bathed in the golden sunlight of our memories. They were more beautiful from a distance than they were up close and these photos show them at their best. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to remember the towers standng tall. The photography is spectacular.

This thin volume does contain some awfully great photos of the World Trade Center complex, but the volume itself contains terribly little information about the buildings. Unfortunately, this book has the feel of a book that was rushed into print, especially considering some of the very high quality remembrance albums that are available. Regardless of its shortcomings, however, the photos contained in the book, especially the construction photos and aerial shots, are stunning, and include photos not seen elsewhere. If you are looking for a definitive photo guide to the towers, look elsewhere. If, however, you want a simple volume with some great photos, this is a reasonably priced alternative.

This book is tremendous...lots of great shots of the buildings from many different angles. Not just a tribute to the WTC, but to New York City itself. Amazing color and clarity - great views of surrounding structures, the water, etc. as well. Really makes the buildings come alive. I highly recommend this one!
