"On the High Line" is the first illustrated guide to the elevated park that has transformed an entire neighbourhood of New York City. Illustrated with some 400 colour photos, including the work of notable photographer and horticulturist Rick Darke, and featuring a gatefold map, it is an engaging, friend-at-your-side guide to everything that a visitor sees when strolling through the park: the innovative gardens and their thousands of plants from around the world; the art, architecture and landscape design by highly recognizable names such as Piet Oudolf, Olaf Eliasson and Pentagram; and a neighbourhood whose lively history includes the Titanic, the Manhattan Project, S&M clubs and the Tenth Avenue Cowboy. This book captures like no other the countless details that make a walk along the High Line such an unforgettable experience.

...a book that will give pleasure and respite to all who love New York City but wish it were somehow quieter, prettier, more conducive to contemplation without electronic devices buzzing from all sides.

What a wonderful addition to my NYC specific collection

Format:Paperback
This book is such a treasure, that I was glad and happy to have it in traditional form. Quality printing and a quality topic like this really lends itself to the manual book format and enhances the subject matter. I'm so happy I came across this book.

Even though there are several larger-format books about the High Line, I really think this one has the very best (and most) selection of photos.
