I would recommend "New York Changing" by Douglas Levere.

This is a strange series of pictures where he revisits many of Berenice Abbott’s New York locations from "Changing New York," her 1937 monograph.

In the book the older and new images are shown side by side, in a way that is exciting for anyone who loves photography, or New York. But what’s truly special is how obsessive Levere became about the project – not only are they the same scenes but in many cases he uses the same kind of camera, lens and time of year, as much as possible allowing only the scene to change over time.

Fascinating and magical.
