New York is Book Country was a Manhattan street fair and literary celebration begun in 1979 and abruptly cancelled in 2003. Each year, a prominent artist or book illustrator created a poster to mark the event. Oftentimes, the artist was on hand to autograph the poster for attendees. The very first NY is BC featured two posters, one created by Edward Gorey and a second by Maurice Sendak. In subsequent years, only one was issued.

This original, large 26 x 20” color poster by the renowned pop-up artist Robert Sabuda (Cookie Count, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, ABC Disney) is signed by the artist and is in Fine condition. A dragon flies overhead as a diverse group of young kids open a pop-up book of New York City. The official poster of New York is Book Country, 2000.
