This book caught my eye months ago during a casual afternoon of bookstore browsing. Seeing it displayed on a table in the travel section resulted in one of those classic “Why didn’t I think of that?!?” moments. I only had a chance to do a preliminary flip through, but it truly is as marvelous as it sounds if you’re a map/travel/general knowledge nerd like myself.

I had forgotten about this discovery until this week, as I’m reading The Subway Chronicles and find myself spending an inordinate amount of time riding public transportation while reading about transportation and subsequently reminiscing about my own experiences on public transportation. And conveniently, Earth Day and mass transportation go together like chocolate and peanut butter. So happy belated earth day! I hope you had a lovely commute this morning.
