"Notable Book of the Year: A dozen years later, there is still power in images and stories from the morning the towers fell and the world changed. A woman's dust-crusted shoes, with their impractical four-inch heels, bring you back to the frantic and sadly incomplete evacuation of the doomed World Trade Center. Steel beams that endured, albeit mangled, speak of both violence and tenacity. Photos of the missing that once clung to lampposts and walls recall a city's heartache and loved ones' unanswered prayers. Artifacts in this handsome "journey of remembrance" are drawn from the museum that is part of New York's Sept. 11 memorial. The book matches photos with essays by museum staff members, who lead the reader briskly through a history that includes the oft-neglected 1993 terrorist attack on the trade center. No doubt, many Americans by now have exhausted their reservoirs of tears. Even so, the wound stays unhealed." The New York Times
"The 9/11 Memorial Museum is still a construction site, its giant artifacts sheathed in plastic and its exhibits not yet installed. But the museum on Tuesday will release a preview of sorts--a book of photos and essays telling the stories behind 28 objects from the museum's collection. The book, published by Skira Rizzoli, is intended to serve both as a companion guide for visitors to the museum, scheduled to open in spring 2014, and as a stand-alone title that allows readers to become intimately acquainted with artifacts that are heavy with emotional and historical meaning. The objects range in size from matchbooks offering a reward for Osama bin Laden to the slurry wall that withstood the collapse of the World Trade Center and held back the Hudson River. In many cases, the essays--written by museum staff members--describe not only the people behind the objects, but the journey the artifacts made before becoming part of the museum's collection. These stories shed light on the formation of the museum itself." The Wall Street Journal
"The Stories They Tell is a poignant, powerful collection of photos of artifacts and exhibits from the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. It's a moving tribute to the events, victims, heroes, and emotions of the fateful day in 2001 that changed America forever." American Profile
