This is such an actually useful classic that I keep an extra Kindle version around for referencing on-the-go.

I go house-snooping the way others go birding. This is such a lovely way to start seeing the hidden beauty of the buildings around you, and to figure out how your neighborhood pieces together. This particular edition is a nice update to the 1984 original.
