On the High Line: Exploring America's Most Original Urban Park Paperback – May 20, 2014

A great tour of New York's newest public park. This book tells the story of an abandoned train line with a rich and important role in New York's history and how, thanks to a group with much vision, it was turned into a park that is virtually a part of the neighboring cityscape. The book also gives a detailed account of which specific plants make up the gardens and explains how this park is totally different than any of the others in NY. The photos are a great mix of old and new, and if you have never visited the High Line, this is the next best thing !

Enjoyed the explanations & pics in the book - Being a former New Yorker it brought back memories

Great book with detailed history of the areas, and the changing status of the High Line! Great photos!

Turns out the book was even better than I expected. The copy I had originally checked out from my local library was the "original" version and what I received from my order is a revised and updated version.

Outstanding pictures and history behind the High Line

I visit the High Line often and this is a great companion book to have on the High Line to help one enjoy it more.

So interesting and beautiful my illustrated. Makes me want to see it every season.

A thoroughly documented companion to a walk that an Alice would call a wonderland.
