The crowded panels evoke the jostle of urban life. Your eye doesn't know where to settle; there's so much to absorb." Reviewer Roz Chast comments that "The meticulously researched histories of the various urban landscapes are fascinating, and Wertz's drawings perfectly capture the visual poetry of the city - the ongoing struggle between past and present, and its unique blend of beauty and ugliness. A must for anyone who loves and appreciates the city, as Wertz so clearly does." Illustrations on every page. Boldly SIGNED on the front endpaper with a self-portrait of the author/illustrator. Includes a list of recommended readings. A large, heavy book, unpaginated. ISBN: 978-0316501217.
