Praise for One Times Square "Like Times Square itself, this book is pure visual stimulation . . . McKendry's text is full of juicy nuggets, but the engaging and nostalgia-inspiring sepia and full-color watercolors steal the show."--Booklist "As an artist, McKendry is as versatile as Times Square itself, rendering sepia-toned watercolors just as adeptly as black-and-white line drawings, clarifying diagrams, streetscapes and full-spectrum painting. Much of the artwork feels deeply nostalgic, entirely appropriate to the subject matter--like leafing through an old issue of The Saturday Evening Post, with none of the pages falling out. Yet the layout, varied and lively but still with plenty of white space, feels entirely modern. This is both a handsome and highly readable book, one that will be pored over cover to cover by young New Yorkers, real and aspiring."--The New York Times "In this spectacular album of crisp sketches and meticulous paintings styled after archival and current photographs, McKendry (Beneath the Streets of Boston) serves up a fascinating biography of One Times Square . . . Architecture and history buffs--and, really, anyone with a sense of curiosity--will relish McKendry's visual approach."--Publishers Weekly, starred review
