"Archie Hobson has a wonderful perspective on how to put together a really useful reference book....He's assembled a treasure trove of information on places in North America, and I only wish he would do the whole world. In Hobson's book, you'll find everything you would expect to find in a good geographical dictionary, and then he takes it several steps further, offering information on cities and neighborhoods within cities; on real places and places that live in our imaginations; on architectural features; and on natural landscape features....If you open [this book], you can count on being lost within its pages, taken for a spin throughout North America. Writers, in particular, will want a copy."Hobson, Archie is the author of 'Cambridge Gazetteer of the United States and Canada A Dictionary of Places' with ISBN 9780521415798 and ISBN 0521415799.
