Summary: New York Characters- A Must Buy!
Comment: Gillian Zoe Segal's book, New York Characters, is outstanding- the best photography book I've ever
seen/read! The photographs featuring prominent New Yorkers are incredible. Each one captures the
true essence of the "character" and truly comes to life on the page. The characters are all
photographed in their natural environment, and as Segal points out and demonstrates in her book it
is New York's characters that make "it the greatest city in the world". In addition to her
photographic genius, Segal writes beautifully. The vignettes's about the characters are intersting,
informative, humorous, and touching. No coffee table should be without a copy of New York
Characters. It makes the perfect holiday gift for New Yorkers as well as out-of-towners because
everyone loves or has an interest in New York, right? Furthermore, all of the proceeds of the book
sales are going to the September 11th fund. So what could be more gratifying than supporting the
city's recovery effort by buying this wonderful book for yourself, for your friends, for your
family...? I feel confident in saying that anyone who picks up New York Characters will enjoy it
immensely. What will Segal do next? I can't wait....

Summary: Best Photographic Book I Have Ever Purchased
Comment: Dear Potential Purchasers:

You are in for an unbelievable treat if you buy this fantastic book.
What can I say about it except to say that it is the best photographic book I have ever seen.
Segal's photographs are breathtaking. Every one of them is flawless and original and tremendously
detailed. Every time I look at one of the pictures I see something else in it that I missed before.
But that is just half of the story. Segal's writing will keep you reading this book for hours too.
Man, can she write. Every story about every person featured in the book gives an interesting detail
about the person's life or an anecdote that I am sure you never heard before. Some of the people
and stories, like the one about Adam Purple and his "flush toilet", are guaranteed to make you
laugh. Other stories are guaranteed to bring a tear to your eye. Overall, the book is a
tremendously enjoyable read and well worth ten times it's price. I personally can't wait for
Segal's next book. By the way, check out the photograph of Segal in the jacket of the book. In
addition to being a talented photographer and a brilliant writer, she is a total knock out. A real
beauty. Anyway, buy the book. It is well worth the price.

Summary: Must read for any New Yorker.....or anyone who just loves NY
Comment: As evidenced by the Sept. 11 disaster, what makes New York such a great city are it's people (it's
characters)... New Yorkers are extraordinary people and have really shown this in light of recent
events...Gillian Segal really captures the energy and heart of this wonderful city and really helps
the reader experience what makes New York tick.....
