A comprehensive guide to the history and architecture of Manhattan, neighborhood by neighborhood, building by building and institution by institution (though its brief section on all four outerboroughs is perfunctory). So thorough it's overwhelming, but that's kind of the point.

The authority on basic NYC knowledge. It was the key to passing my tour guide licensing exam.
