Seller's Description:
Illustrated by Ronald Rife and Joseph Loguirato. Very Good+ 0931311063. B&W Illustrations; 12 x 9; 95 pages; Oblong shaped soft cover has teal spine with white lettering; 1 1/4" closed tear at top of back. Light rubbing/scuffing/shelf wear to covers. Pages are clean and tight; appear as if unused. Illustrated with 2 color maps, inside the covers, and dozens of b/w pictures of locations in Central Park, along with architectural drawings of each of the bridges shown. "Mr. Reed's other great passion [besides architecture] is landscape gardening. In 1966 Parks Commissioner Thomas Hoving named Mr. Reed to a brand-new position: curator of Central Park. Few people know Central Park so intimately as does Mr. Reed. Among his books is "Central Park: A History and a Guide, " co-written with Sophia Duckworth. Mr. Reed also cowrote "The Bridges of Central Park." It may be said that just as Mr. Reed's walking tours helped build the constituency for the preservation movement, so did Mr. Reed's work on Central Park (including his legendary walking tours of the park), keenly focused on the intentions of the park's designers Vaux and Olmsted, help build the constituency for the reclamation of the park begun in the 1980s by the Central Park Conservancy.

This is a wonderful book with detailed drawings of all the bridges in Central Park. It has all the history of the park as well. For city dwellers or visitors alike, this book covers even those bridges tucked out of the way that never make the guide books. We were fortunate to find a copy that included a small bookmark-type map to each of the bridges. This is a must read for anyone interested in the architectural history of the park.
