Seller's Description:
Fine. Oblong hardcover in green and red cloth lettered in silver and with cut-out cover showing the color illustration on the front endpaper. 96 pps. with index. A fine, fresh, unused example. Illustrated with vintage black and white and contemporary color photographs and featuring four cellophane "windows". One of the scarcest and most sought after modern New York-centric Christmas books, a loving look at the famous holiday windows that have added magic to the season in the Big Apple. The "window shopping" began around the turn of the 20th century after the City's shopping district had moved uptown to Broadway, Fith Avenue, and Sixth Avenue, from the original commecial center in lower Manhattan. The dawning of the age of electricity had much to do with the advent of the Christmas windows tradition. Through the decades, some of the most notable displays appeared in the streetfront windows of Macy's, B. Altman's, Saks Fith Avenue.
I expected a book that shared the magic of a New York Christmas. It was actually more a "documentary" style book. The windows pictured were more on the excentric side. I hoped to share this with a grandchild.
