The brief text for each cities shows Anatomy, People, Typical XXX (a written snapshot of what its inhabitants are like), Defining Experience, Strength (a list), Weaknesses (a shorter list), Gold Star, Cityspeak, Starring Role in... (books), Import (people list), Export (another people list), short whtat to do, Urban Myth. A great coffee table book. ( )
