Book Description
This interactive pop-up book makes the perfect gift for anyone who loves the holiday traditions that originate in New York – from the lighting of the Christmas tree to watching the ball drop on New Year's Eve in Times Square. CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK features these world-famous holiday events, as well as scenes of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Angel Tree, George Balanchine's Nutcracker at Lincoln Center, and holiday store windows through the 20th century in the three-dimensional art of a pop-up book. Its unique construction combines original art by Chuck Fischer with photographs of famous New York City landmarks. The pop-up spreads include short histories, architectural legacies, anecdotes, and fun facts contained in pull-outs, removable booklets, and other extras. No collection of Christmas keepsakes is complete without the magic of CHRISTMAS IN NEW YORK.

IT'S NEW YORK! ( reebee2 )
I have purchased a few of these. Great gift for someone that left the Big Apple or that doesn't have the opportunity to see it. I sent it to my sister in Florida, my best friend in Florida and my cousin in Texas. If they can't be with us, at least they can remember how beautiful it is!

Terrific Gift! ( edhittel )
Christmas in New York: A Pop Up Book is a wonderfully artistic representation of its subject. I have bought several copies of this lovely book, and I have given them to adults and children alike. One of them was sent to France.

Not just a "holiday," but Christmas! ( sjwhammond )
I purchased this book as a sort of "virtual trip" to begin to fulfill my dream of celebrating Christmas in New York one day. The illustrations are beautiful and it is interesting to learn the history behind the great city's Christmas traditions. It seems that every time I open the book there are new surprises awaiting me. This book is a keepsake to enjoy for years to come. My other dream for Christmas one day is London, England. Mr. Fischer, are there any plans for a "Christmas in London" or even a "Christmas in Germany" or Europe? If so, I just "can't wait to open" them! Thank you for the sweet gift of imagination, color, and beauty in a book.

 Great Pop-up about NYC Christmas History
My Best Friend and I have a Christmas Tradition where we buy each other Children's Christmas books as gifts... I chose this one because she recently took a vacation to NYC. I bought it from Amazon without being able to look at the inside and was suprised and a little disappointed to find that it was more historical and less story-ish. But the book is great and the story behind the Traditional NYC Christmas icons is told. I would recommend this book but remember that it is not a Story book more of a history book.

A great gift for everyone from 0 to 90 years old ( stefaniavalderetti )
It has been a surprise to open this book. Just amazing! I believe it is perfect for a baby, for an adult, for everyone, it is a pleasure to go through the colorful pop-up pages and the inserts.
I really love it.
