A reissue surely qualifies for a book of the year when it comes in
gorgeous packaging, has a slightly updated text and reproduces a
healthy ration of new photographs. Credit to Rizzoli for not only
republishing Charles Lockwood’s Bricks Brownstone: The New York Row
House ($85), first brought out in 1972 as the result of the
author’s undergraduate thesis at Princeton, but also for doing it
in such style, with help from Patrick W. Ciccone and Jonathan D.
Taylor. —Spectator USA
