A book of the Author's pictures of stuff he saw in Tokyo in 2006. Lots of pictures of people, buildings, posters, consumer products, and more. His maps highlight the places to sit and draw. I also liked the loving depictions of the various police sub-stations of the different neighborhoods. It was an interesting choice, given the author's run-ins with the tokyo police (over his improperly salvaged & improperly parked bike). I never thought of Tokyo as a particularly bikeable place before, but Florent made biking around Tokyo seem doable (I'm a trains guy, so if I ever visit, I'll probably be taking the subway or the Yamanote line).
