What Color Light We Were Bathed In: Purple.
Music: Unobtrusive techno.
How Many Books the Two Authors Signed: A lot.
Free Books Given Out: Zero.
Disappointment: Mild to very mild.
We're saving our own review until we've actually read the book, but there have been a few early raves:
"The story of the struggle by two young men to create the High Line is a story of perseverance, determination, and courage."?Robert A. Caro
"There is no more miraculous and important and gratifying piece of new American urban design than the High Line. What's more, how it was conjured into existence is a compelling story."?Kurt Anderson
So, is anyone not over the moon about this book?
?Jeremiah Budin
