"Just in time for spring comes Rooftop Gardens: The Terraces, Conservatories, and Balconies of New York by Denise LeFrak Calicchio and Roberta Amon, with photos by Norman McGrath that are so lifelike they could incite your sinuses if not your envy. These sanctuaries are, after all, intensely private, and ordinarily protected even from the view of ordinary mortals"

"…A terrific book highlighting some of the most fantastic rooftop gardens…"

"The book, published by Rizzoli, promises to showcase some of the city's most fabulous outdoor spaces."

"If it weren't for "Rooftop Gardens: The Terraces, Conservatories and Balconies of New York," a new book from Rizzoli by Denise LeFrak Calicchio and Roberta Model Amon, the only way to see most of these spaces would be by helicopter, telescope or a ride on the back of a superhero.

Either that or have friends in high places, literally. That way, you can see down into them or pay a visit. Because when you step onto the patio or gawk at a sensational rooftop garden in one of New York City's top apartments, something happens to the entire body. It shakes, begs you to go to the edge, and says to itself,"
