Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Richard Rhodes, photography. (illustrator). First Edition. 355 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H). B&w photographs. (A) brilliantly conceived and thoroughly idiosyncratic walking tour of Canada's biggest metropolis. With John Bentley Mays as our guide, we discover anew the places city dwellers encounter every day, travelling beyond and beneath the obvious landmarks to discover Toronto's metropolitan soul. From the unexpected beauty of industrial sites to civic icons like the Dome and Maple Leaf Gardens, Mays never fails to delight and inform as he uncovers the archaeology of memory that lies in the urban landscape." Not a traditional 'tourist' tome, Mays essays on some of his Toronto 'highlights' are gathered under the headings: Thinking Places; On the Land; Binding and Loosing the Waters; Tales of the Pioneers; Pleasures in Places; Modern; Shopping; Suburban Idylls; Concrete Dreams; Streets; Gardens; Moral Management; Moderne Variations; High Styles; Houses and Home; At the Edge. Very light edgewear, tiny dint to top of spine. Dust jacket has minor edgewear/wrinkling, slight fading to colour at bottom of spine. Seller Inventory # 20400
