2008 Book Lover's Page-a-Day Calendar (Workman Publishing) 4/27/8: City Secrets: ...

City Secrets: New York City; City Secrets: London; City Secrets: Rome; City Secrets: Florence, Venice and the Towns of Italy, edited by Robert Kahn (Little Bookroom, 2001, 2002)
"There are enough discoveries and insights to keep a native, let alone a visitor, tramping the streets for years."—Daily Telegraph (London). From the calendar page: "In the City Secrets series, artists and writers write about the little corners of their cities that are among the things that make life happily worth living there. Destinations include favorite restaurants and markets, out-of-the-way parks, small galleries or lesser-known art in well-known museums, and obscure shops. /Locations are mapped and clearly coded." Only thing is, I wish they had it for more cities. Rating 8/10 Rand McNallys

A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds, adored by little statesmen and philosophers and divines. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. He may as well concern himself with his shadow on the wall. Speak what you think now in hard words, and to-morrow speak what to-morrow thinks in hard words again, though it contradict every thing you said to-day. — 'Ah, so you shall be sure to be misunderstood.' — Is it so bad, then, to be misunderstood? Pythagoras was misunderstood, and Socrates, and Jesus, and Luther, and Copernicus, and Galileo, and Newton, and every pure and wise spirit that ever took flesh. To be great is to be misunderstood. --Ralph Waldo Emerson, "Self-Reliance"
