READ THIS: THE SEASONS OF NEW YORK By Charles J. Ziga

Rizzoli has done it again! A rite of spring this season is reading "The Seasons of New York" by Charles J. Ziga, or rather, looking at it because after all it is predominantly a picture book. Years before Whom You Know, Peachy Deegan used to frequent Rizzoli, particularly when she worked at 9 West 57th Street, and it was for books like this that she went. The photography in The Seasons of New York is unsurpassed and the quintessential moments as the seasons change are captured perfectly. We can't help but notice winter was a lot shorter-no wonder! Thankfully spring came early this year, and is a winner of a season to start the book with. This makes a fantastic gift for anyone not in New York that would love to familiarize themselves with the seasonal hotspots. The color specifically is amazing and the light captured from the daylight in Central Park to the night light of the unique skyline will completely dazzle you. Bravo Rizzoli! You still are our most favorite bookstore in the world, and you keep producing the books that have won you that spot!

“…to truly experience this splendid city I encourage you to linger.” - Charles Ziga from the introduction

New York is one of the most spectacular and picturesque places in the world. Throughout the seasons, the city keeps changing and evolving, which always provides for new photographs. In the springtime, blooming flowers and people sitting in parks attract the attention of photographers; in the summer, fireworks and festivals; parades in the fall; and snowfalls in the winter. Each season of the year and each site in the city is as photogenic as the next.

THE SEASONS OF NEW YORK features full-color photographs of well-known landmarks, skyline views, parades, and local hotspots from all five boroughs. Each photograph is a testament to the beauty of this bustling city. This visual celebration of New York in all its seasonal splendor is a perfect take-home souvenir for a tourist or a treasured gift for a resident New Yorker.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Charles J. Ziga is principal at Ziga Media, LLC, a design firm specializing in illustrated books and calendars on fine art, natural history, travel, and architecture. He is also the author and photographer of two previous books on New York, New York Landmarks and On Fifth Avenue.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
