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)--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: 1632869772\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1632869772.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Chast, Roz\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\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: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
