NOT about street signage. "Their basic proposition is that there never have been any neighborhoods in Chicago, and that the effort to think about the city's history and present condition in those terms is at best misguided and at worst a tool of manipulation used by the people who exercise centralized power - Foreword." "This book ... has the power of a good heavyweight's wallop. It knocked me out - Studs Terkel." Bowden's second book.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
