Reviews
"Coppola's work revels in New York's Gilded Age, when the subway was still considered groundbreaking and its artistry was something marveled at openly. In the book's introduction, [editors] Workman and Bookstein write that they hope it "can also remind New Yorker and visitor alike that there is beauty all around us. You just have to look." -City Lab -- -, "A cross between an artist and an archeologist, [Philip Ashforth Copolla] has documented the New York City subway with historical descriptions, specifications, and detailed black and white line drawings that cover typography, terra cotta mosaics, faience, and tile patterns-all of which are rarely noticed by the millions of riders passing by every day-but are well illustrated in this book." - Design Issues, "A cross between an artist and an archeologist, [Philip Ashforth Copolla] has documented the New York City subway with historical descriptions, specifications, and detailed black and white line drawings that cover typography, terra cotta mosaics, faience, and tile patterns-all of which are rarely noticed by the millions of riders passing by every day-but are well illustrated in this book." - Design Issues-- -, "While beauty and efficiency are probably not what most New Yorkers think of when they imagine the subway, one must admit that the stations aren't boring.

Synopsis
For decades, Philip Ashforth Coppola has meticulously documented the New York City subway in a series of extraordinary drawings, detailing the terracotta mosaics, faience, and tile patterns that millions of riders pass by every day. Coppola's drawings are what Hyperallergic calls "the most encyclopedic history of the art and architecture of the New York City subway system." Along with Coppola's intricate ink drawings are anecdotes he assembled through painstaking research involving hundreds of hours poring through microfilms to discover the names behind the artisanship of what is rightly called New York's largest public art work--its legendary subway system.
