A Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Bestseller We definitely recommend buying the book for yourself--there are so many more places to explore than we could possibly fit here, and the illustrations are gorgeous. --Portland Mercury This book is adorable. It is so cool. It's hip, it's trendy, and what I love about it is it's not your average guidebook. The illustrations and the maps . . . make it so entertaining to read. --X-Ray FM It may take on greater importance as a historical text, the same way Chuck Palahniuk's city guide Fugitives & Refugees did in 2003--a snapshot of Portland as it was just before it changed forever, again. --Willamette Week
