Here's a truly charming read from Tony Sarg, who brought us dozens of delightfully illustrated tomes in the 20s and 30s. "Up & Down New York" is a juvenile jewel of nonfiction, originally published in 1926 and just now re-released from Universe with an introduction courtesy of designer extraordinaire Jonathan Adler... who Buby's mama can attest to being a sweet sweet man. Tony takes us on a quirky tour of New York's finest neighborhoods and landmarks. The niece and nephew would especially appreciate this classic after spending all of yesterday in Manhattan. Buby will grow up to know the City oh so well, but the nostalgic book, $19.95, will show him just how little this place (where Mama & Papa loved living and working) has changed over the past 80 years. www.rizzoliusa.com
