Treating New York City as an open-air museum of signs, Thomas E. Rinaldi captures the glow of 200 surviving early- and mid-twentieth-century signs. In a generously illustrated introduction, Rinaldi recounts the development of signage and the technological evolution of neon. This colourful book comes as the disappearance of the original signs has inspired a growing interest in neon.

"New York Neon is an astonishing visual tour..."
Urban Resources

"With the sign industry both at home in the UK and across the pond undergoing its greatest period of change since perhaps the invention of neon itself, New York Neon works to artfully and poignantly evoke the medium, whilst examining its role in our collective consciousness."
