Liebling's curiosity and occasional displeasure with Chicago is presentable in his recognizable style, and includes Liebling's flourishes: a focus on food, vice and watering holes. This work first appeared in a couple issues of the New Yorker; they appear here with his responses to letters he received when the two magazine issues were published. Dust jacket is now covered in a removable, clear archival protector.
