NYC Basic Tips And Etiquette (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
A book after my own heart, containing thoughts I've shared not only in person and on social media, but in an entire book of my own creation. It is good to see my grievances validated, even if it's in overly polite form. I thought I was the only one who complained about object permanence in adults. Nope. And seeing everything in sketched and cartoon form was just gravy. I read the whole thing in one commute home; a fun little book. New Yorkers can be a little prickly about some of the things tourists do. Pyle's inner Midwesterner is too nice to let this creative graphic guide to our fair city degenerate into a mean rant, but he does a good job of explaining, for locals and visitors alike, why it is that seemingly innocuous behaviors can be really, really annoying in New York. He balances these chastising moments with wondeful tips for visitors and New Yorkers, turning his book into a pointed but accessible guide to navigating this or any city with grace and ease. The visual style is clear, welcoming, and brilliantly intuitive. at helong his points come to life. There's a sense of wonder and love for New York at work here, and it adds up to a fun, easy read and a great gift book for a tourist, new New Yorker, or even a diehard local.

Very clever! An illustrated guide that any tourists should be given at the airport:)

A sort of graphic novel version of a travel guide. I kind of dig it.
