From Library Journal
Cook is a popular painter in her native England, where her bouncy, Botero-like figures have inspired comic interest since they were first exhibited in 1977. In 1983, Cook visited New York City for a three-week vacation. This book is her visual impression of the sightsand sitesof the Big Apple in summer. She has assembled 30 color plates accompanied by suitably droll, understated British commentary. Her choices for tourist views include such notable landmarks as Central Park, Coney Island, the Russian Tea Room, and even Roseland. Cook's real focus is on the denizens of city life; readers will find her portraits sly and good-natured. Not a necessary purchase, but area libraries and those collecting humor will want to consider. Paula A. Baxter, Museum of Modern Art Lib., New York
