after some particularly gray days in cold berlin, designer, illustrator and lover of NYC, christoph niemann, was inspired to create a series of miniature New York vignettes out of his sons' legos.

after posting them on his NY Times blog, resident and honorary NYers around the world loved the clever & minimalist evocations the iconic and the mundane.

niemann has a special talent for juxtaposing images using far fewer pieces than one might think. in the spirit of kid's toys, the book is a board book! a perfect gift for all of us who love NYC.

32 pages in a board book. 7"w x 5 1/2"h
