New York: Serge Ramelli

I bought this book for my Son as he had been to visit New York last year after teaching at Camp America. He loved the quality of the photographs.

Beautiful photography. It's also great for a display book, for interior design.

A lovely book, great photography and a very well made book.

Excellent photos

Wonderful book with some amazing pictures of New York. The black and white photography really lends itself to these pictures. Recommended!

Bought for my daughter as a gift as she loves books on architecture and cities. Its a lovely size and itnitially she thought as she flipped through for a first quick look it,the photograhs looked amazing but on sitting down for a good read,it became apparent there are virtually no captions to the photos,so you have little idea what view you are looking at,aside form the obvious Statue of Liberty etc,also some captions actually incorrectly identify locations which we found an incredible error..how did this get past the publisher? It also became a trifle annoying that the views are so samey,taken from rooftops,just as if the camera has been moved just a little and the same view captured.... and dont start us on the orange filter....page after page of it!! A little more in the way of captions to help identify locations would have been useful and informative and the use of 3 languages per page when there was a caption was distracting. Some photos I have to say are beautiful but,if you are not familair with the city and know each and every landmark and area of the city,its just a big book of orange photos of office blocks! On the whole a big disapointment. Returned to Amazon for a refund.

Three languages. English. French. And German. Where ever there is writing to explain a picture it’s in three languages. Really spoilt as a result.

The photography, which is of course the most important thing in a book like this, is absolutely wonderful and there's some brilliants shots of New York which is my absolute favourite place in the world. My familiarity with New York, born out of my near obsession with the place, does make some errors stick out like a sore thumb. There is a famous shot, for example, of the Manhattan Bridge through some buildings viewed north from Washington Street in Brooklyn. The book incorrectly refers to the Manhattan Bridge here as the Brooklyn Bridge, which is a separate bridge located across the park. It is little inaccuracies such as this that, while not impacting the beautiful photography, do a certain level of injustice to a book that would have been absolutely perfect were these errors avoided by slightly higher attention to detail in the annotation.

Ho comprato questo libro fotografico per regalarlo a mio cognato dopo un viaggio recente a New York. Molto apprezzato, fotografie fantastiche. Arrivato in brevissimo tempo. Credo che gli regalerò anche gli altri libri dello stesso autore per le future ricorrenze.

Bien sympa. Sur certaines photos on a des tâches (capteur du boitier pas Propre et pas retiré lors du traitement)

Beautiful book, the pictures are so crisp. This is great art to put in frames in your home.....

Dieses Buch fängt mit seinen Bildern genau das ein, was New York für viele Menschen ist: Sehnsuchtsort, wunderschöne Kulisse, ein fast vertrauter Freund den man aus vielen liebgewonnen Filmen kennt. Es macht unheimlich Spaß, fast wie bei meinem Wimmelbild die tollen Fotografien (vorallem in den Abend und Nachtstunden) zu betrachten und zu entdecken was New Yorks Charme ausmacht. Einfach wunderschön. Bitte lesen Sie auf keinen Fall das Vorwort! Wie kommt man auf die Idee ein solch bitteres, fast schon nörglerisches Vorwort in einem Buch zu drucken? Es ist der erste Eindruck der entsteht bevor man überhaupt die Bilder sieht. Wenn man nicht gerade New Yorker ist, kann man nicht anders als sich vor den Kopf gestoßen zu fühlen und sich zu fragen - sind denn alle Touristen schuld an der "Besudelung" New Yorks, die dort bemängelt wird? Sind es nicht auch Touristen, die sich dieses Buch kaufen, um ihre liebsten Erinnerungen an einen tollen Urlaub in New York wieder zu erwecken, die in diesem Vorwort ganz offen angegangen werden? Es hat rein gar nichts mit der Schönheit der Stadt zu tun, die in den Bildern eingefangen ist und mit Nichten besudelt ist! Dieses Vorwort wird den Bildern nicht im geringsten gerecht und ist Fehl am Platz.

É uma ótima aquisição pra quem gosta de livros de fotos e de Nova Iorque. Gostei da qualidade das imagens. Nem todas são de página inteira, mas são minoria.
