I thought I knew Boston. I'd lived there years ago. I visit often. Then a wonderful pocket-sized guide fell into my hands and shined a new, absorbing light on Boston. Crammed with anecdotes, from waltzing parties to murder, Boston Foot Notes delivers a city far more colorful than what we've read about in history books. Whimsical ink drawings are an added delight.Whether you're an armchair traveler, a beater of city pavements or a 10th generation Bostonian, I think you'll find Boston Foot Notes is a great book.Warning: remember to stop reading when you cross the street. I'd be pancake now if a Bostonian Samaritan hadn't pulled me back from an onrushing car.
