Frank Van Riper’s bestselling documentary-cum-memoir about two of the world’s great cities, reflected in his vivid BxW vintage photographs and eloquent contemporary text. A meditation on time and place, when you could tour the Eiffel Tower without seeing police and automatic weapons; when the Coney Island Parachute ride still thrilled thousands.
