Invisible New York: The Hidden Infrastructure of the City (Creating the North American Landscape) Hardcover – November 4, 1998

Arrived quickly and mint condition

The book arrived promptly and was in great shape. The subject matter was very interesting and the author covered the subject well. I would recommend both the seller and the book.

I received this book along with "The City Beneath Us: Building the New York Subway" as birthday gifts. I have family that live in New York City and routinely travel the subway system while there. It seems like every time we visit, we notice something new and fascinating about the city's architecture or sub-structure. This book is an amazing read coupled with fantastic photography! It is a book that I will re-visit often.

I was expecting more photos of decaying buildings, tunnels, etc. It does have some of that, but some of the images were of structures that seemed a little too new, or there were multiple photos of similar structures, or you couldn't really tell what the structures were from the photo. I guess I was just expecting something different.

Invisible New York is one of the three or four most treasured books in my library. Greenberg's black and white photography is beautiful and lush. To me, the book's one shortcoming is that it's not longer! Greenberg has a sharp eye for reading and presenting spaces. A treat for all of us who wonder what lives down there under the manhole cover or over there behind that fence.

Good book

This was purchased as a gift and very well received.

A very misleading title. I was looking for something showing the very old infrastructure, hopefully most of it underground. Much of this is very mundane. A real disappointment. Nice photography of boring infrastructure. Much of this you could pass by without a second thought.
