From the book - "No one is a better observer of the city scene than master cartoonist Will Eisner. From his years writing and drawing THE SPIRIT through such graphic novels as A CONTRACT WITH GOD and A LIFE FORCE, Eisner has proven himself a keen and sensitive chronicler of the urban landscape. In CITY PEOPLE NOTEBOOK, a sequel to his best-selling NEW YORK book of graphic essays, Eisner examines three facets of city living: time, space and smell. He brings to his task a lifetime of memories, encounters and experiences, and he shares it with consummate skill."
