A firsthand look at one of the worlds most livable cities, this fun take on the guidebook genre explores the atmosphere of Portland, Oregon, versus detailing its landmarks and restaurants.

A fun and quick read full of funny and thoughtful essays that perfectly sum up what makes Portland the city that it is. Perfect souvenir to bring back to non-Portlanders!

Love this little book. I get a copy for all our friends/family who visit. As a recent transplant to PDX from the East Coast this book perfectly encompasses all the things that make Portland Portland, that I, at least was unable to put into words. Great short read, awesome gift to send to someone looking to visit or thinking about moving or even those who already live here.
