Based on Brandon Stanton's blog, this book collects four hundred full-color photographs of New Yorkers paired with quotes and short anecdotes. Stanton began the project in the summer of 2010 and set out to create a photographic census of the city, traveling thousands of miles on foot to find and photograph residents and capture their stories.
The book reproduces images from the blog alongside exclusive portraits and all-new stories in a hardbound full-color edition with a distinctive vellum jacket. It presents a broad cross-section of people in New York and emphasizes individuality and the spirit of the city.

The description focuses on photography and short personal statements gathered across New York City. Much of the setup centers on everyday people, their faces, and the brief quotes or anecdotes that accompany each portrait. The book emphasizes visual variety and individual voices rather than narrative plot or fictional characters. This may appeal more to someone interested in street photography, city life, candid portraiture, and human-centered vignettes.
