Easily my favorite book series to show visitors to The Map Center- this exquisite trilogy is brimming with humor, tragedy and thoughtful dissection of three of America’s greatest cities. The full color maps are contextualized with essay chapters written by the journalist and feminist icon Rebecca Solnit who co-edited the series. Each box set comes with a pull out envelope that contains three folded maps from the books suitable for display after you’ve finished reading.

“America has only three cities: New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans.
Everywhere else is Cleveland.”

―Tennessee Williams
