Fun and useful for walkmaniacs

The arrival to the USA seems to introduce Europeans into a new dimension. You can't do anything without a car! Distances are enormous and walks aren't pleasant because of the empty sidewalks and high traffic streets. At my arrival at the airport after many years of absence I spotted this pocket guide and bought it right away. What a revelation! It is possible and enjoyable to take a walk in Boston outside the downtown area and actually see many hidden aspects of this beautiful even if sprawled out city. The book is written by a humoristic person that has a first hand experience of what he is talking about and is culturally prepared on history and culture of this town. I enjoyed using this booklet and strongly reccomend it to tourists use to "walking down cities" in their desire to know them better.
