A classic, first published in 1967 in the aftermath of the destruction of Penn Station -- and for a time the urban preservationist's bible. Here it is revised, expanded and updated. Originally conceived as a companion to an exhibit at the Columbia University School of Architecture, it's a magnificent survey of the history and architectural development of the city. The book is comprised of an introduction to urban preservation in New York, and then building-by-building descriptions and photos of examples of fine architecture now lost to the wrecker's ball.  (NYC13, $25.00)
