The Works: Anatomy of a City by Kate Ascher
$14
For true urbanites, people who live and breathe New York City, this book will answer the questions that have undoubtedly entered their minds during late-night walks through downtown or while on a crowded subway car. The author reveals interesting facts about how potholes are formed and how mail is processed, even what happens when a New Yorker flushes the toilet. It's everything New Yorkers have ever wanted to know (and didn't know they wanted to know) about Gotham City and how it works.
