Table of ContentsReviewsThe Tour Guide is an enormously interesting book. Wynn's extensive interviews and observations show us a variety of people giving tours of New York in a variety of ways, and by the time you finish the book you've learned a great deal about them, how they work, and why they do it. While The Tour Guide intersects with other classic books on urban life, Wynn's major accomplishment here is to provide a unique way of looking at cities you would never have arrived at just by thinking about them yourself.
