Review by Library Journal Review

In his follow-up to Graphic Europe, Hanaor offers unique travel advice to major and not-so-major American cities from resident graphic designers. As well as the usual locales-Los Angeles, Boston, New York, and Washington, DC-the guide shares glimpses of Charleston, SC; Detroit; New Orleans; and Milwaukee. Each illustrated chapter is preceded by an essay introducing the city and its appeal and features advice from the illustrator on lodging, dining, culture, things to do, and where to shop. The guide takes visitors to flea markets in Kansas City, MO, bicycle paths in Minneapolis, and vegan cuisine in Philadelphia. Verdict You will want this guide when you find yourself in a city and are wishing you had some really cool friends who could take you to places that tourists don't know about. Recommended for all travelers and conference-goers as well as arty browsers.-Melissa Stearns, Franklin Pierce Univ. Lib., Rindge, NH (c) Copyright 2011.
