i [heart] this book. i think i will have to buy it.

i just ran across miroslav sasek's classic children's book 'this is new york' at anthropologie's web site and fell. in. love.

first published in 1960, it tells the story of the original purchase of manhattan.

love love love.

i'm afraid my obsession with 1960s children's books is not a passing whim.

it's also available at amazon.
