The Boston Handbook
written by John Powers, illustrated by Peter Wallace

A Wikkid Pissah Guide to Chowdah, Blizzids, Rotaries, Dropped Rs, the Sawx, and Other Parochial Oddities

The Boston Globe team of Peter Wallace and John Powers know Boston like that backs of their hands. Want to know how to get around the city, how to survive its weather and traffic, and how to access the local "kulcha?" Find it here: all the city's customs, habits, oddities, rituals, quirks, and taboos. In short, everything that makes "Bawstin" not "Noo Yawk." Just as The Boston Dictionary showed us how Bostonians talk funy, this book reveals how strangely Bostonians act.

Paperback 128 pages - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" - (7/06)
ZT0279    The Boston Handbook                                   $11.95
