Wholesale ’Tis the Season New York

No other American city dazzles during the winter holidays like New York, with its magical store windows, larger-than-life street decorations, and brilliant, tree-lit plazas. New York city photographer Betsy Pinover Schiff has gone uptown to Harlem, downtown to the 9/11 memorial, and to all the boroughs on foot, by subway, by double-decker bus, and on a tour boat decked with lights and garlands to capture the city's creative spirit. Photographed mostly at night, scenes range from Rockefeller center's ice rink and a Jewish festival of lights ceremony, to a puppet procession and elegantly decorated homes, offering a new, intimate, and heartwarming sense of the city. The book also contains a foreword by New York Times reporter James Barron, quotes from notable New Yorkers, and a map of the image locations. 'tis the season New York is a beautiful keepsake of the big apple, burnished and bedazzled during the most festive time of the year. 168 pp | 173 color images
