Houghton Mifflin, Spring, 2009
PHARAOH'S BOAT is an immensely gratifying book as skillfully crafted and assembled as its subject. In this beautifully written and illustrated account, David Weitzman weaves past and present into a truly satisfying story of technology and discovery, scholarship and craft. While much of the art is done in the familiarly flat Egyptian style, the journey on which it takes us is absolutely four dimensional.

A glorious celebration and an accurate account of the birth of the New York City subway, which opened in 1904. Weitzman’s extensive research has enabled him to relate each and every stage of the engineering endeavor.

Old Ironsides: Americans Build a Fighting Ship

From the frigate under full sail on the cover, to the endpapers with the view of the hull, to the clean, precise drawings of every stage of shipbuilding, Weitzman’s illustrations draw the eye and invite close inspection.

Thrashin’ Time: Harvest Days in the Dakotas
David R. Godine, 1990, 2000
Mr. Weitzman’s glorious illustrations . . . are as massive as the draft horses and the machines they depict, as delicate a stalks of wheat . . . They are the kind of illustrations in which the reader gets lost. With his text, Mr. Weitzman’s illustrations bring back a world.
