Animals in Stone: Architectural Sculpture in New York City - Hardcover
A companion to "Faces in Stone" (ISBN 978 0 393 73234 4), this is a gift-sized and attractively priced book for architecture buffs. It features more than one hundred imaginative sculptural details, from the domestic to the fantastic, with a brief introduction and contextual photos to show the building on which each ornament appears, the addresses and how to get there.

Review:
[E]xcellent books, giving you another way to enjoy the sights, and great presents for architectural students or lovers of New York City.
Implicitly, King makes a case against the rigid application of modernist dogma to architecture. That the carvings he photographed added depth, visual interest and beauty to their structures was sufficient justification for their existence. Form doesn't necessarily have to follow function.
