In this book, Mays takes the reader on an architectural or structural historical tour of Toronto. It's beautifully written, and even without having much familiarity with the city, I enjoyed reading it for a while...but in the end I was defeated by my lack of background knowledge. There were too many references I was unfamiliar with and too many places I couldn't conjure up an image of. Maybe if I knew Toronto better... :-)
I'm going to pass this book along now. I hope it finds it's way into the hands of someone who loves Toronto. I think it provides a unique view of the city.

I picked this one off the shelf and I intend to bring it to Ottawa for my sister rednumbertwo. She travels to Toronto a bit and perhaps could release it there.
