Title: New YorkÂs Fabulous Luxury Apartments, with Original Floor Plans from the Dakota by Andrew Alpern ISBN: 0-486-25318-X Publisher: Dover Pubns Pub. Date: 01 May, 1987 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $14.95 |

Summary: Floor plans of New York's luxury apartment buildings
Comment: Originally published under the title 'Apartments for the Affluent,' this book is aimed at a very narrow audience indeed. Alpern takes us through 75 luxury Manhattan apartment houses in chronological order, from 1869 to 1974. Each building has a full-page b&w photograph, a diagram of a typical floor plan, and a quarter-page-or-so description. Alpern explains the reasoning behind the various room arrangements, and how that reasoning evolved over the years. I enjoyed this book immensely, but it's not for everyone. If you ever walked by an older high-rise apartment building and wondered how the rooms were arranged and why, this slender volume will fascinate you. Otherwise, you may prefer a book that's a more general survey of the topic (including some by the same author).

Summary: Excellent book!
Comment: Finally I got a hold of this book! Great floor plans; but as usual, I would have liked more interior pics (hardly any).
Rating: 5
Summary: Amazing Details
Comment: This book provides excellent descriptions and floor plans of many of New York's finest apartments. It proved to be a great guide book on a recent trip to the city.
