On trips into town, they would marvel at the strange visual world of Manhattan--its blackened sidewalk gum-wads, \"those West Side Story-things\" (fire escapes)--and its crazily honeycombed systems and grids.\n\nTold through Chast's singularly zany, laugh-out-loud, touching, and true cartoons, Going Into Town is part New York stories (the \"overheard and overseen\" of the island borough), part personal and practical guide to walking, talking, renting, and venting--an irresistible, one-of-a-kind love letter to the city.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1620403218\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UE34004A8T_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Chast, Roz\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
