Some are rooms from the past, like Gloria Vanderbilt's 1970 patchwork bedroom and Brooke Astor's library by Parish-Hadley." -- Brownstoner "Complete with engaging written reportage, this personal survey of outstanding rooms in New York's most luxurious apartments, by architecture and design journalist Wendy Moonan, provides a richly illustrated overview of interior design, decoration and architecture during the past half-century." -- Architectural Record "In New York Splendor: The City's Most Memorable Rooms, Wendy Moonan brings readers into the city's finest interior spaces.
