Summary: An anthology of virtuosity
Review: Endcommercial does a spectacular job of bringing organization to New York's seemingly chaotic visual landscape. It digests all the nooks and crannies of the city into bite-sized chunks, transforming what is normally a sensory-overloaded experience into an urban symphony in which each color and texture has its own unique visual "sound."This tour de force book brings a spotlight to New York City's minutia, and in so doing becomes far greater than the sum of its tiny parts (which, to the naked eye, might otherwise seem inconsequential). If you live in NYC, this masterpiece will allow you to see your backyard through the filter of a beginner's mind. If you've never experienced New York, and you're curious, Endcommercial will give you an orientation that might take years to achieve by organic means. Get ready to be floored by this anthology of virtuosity.

Summary: What Gabriel Stricker Said
Review: Gee, I wish I could find something other than what Mr. Stricker said in his review, but I can't. This is an incredible book of photos! If you've ever contemplated taking a series of photos of the many urban themes and sub-themes available, here's a catalog of some of the more amazing ones. My favorites? The duct tape series, the metal construction plates, all the signage, the blank billboards -- heck, they're all super. As an added bonus for New Yorkers -- it's fun tying in the visual cues to the real places. Superb.
