I Might Actually Buy That


It's a strange day when Yale University Press appears in the New York Times' blog The Moment, which more often chronicles $600 Armani tshirts and other such nonessentials. But that's just what happened today when the blog posted an item about Lived in London: Blue Plaques and The Stories Behind Them. The book, out this week from YUP, is a guidebook--albeit a 10x11", seven-pound guidebook--to the ubiquitous historical markers that can make a stroll down even the lowliest London street into a delightful history lesson.

The full posting is here.--David E

That does look pretty cool, and strangely more practical than a $600 shirt.
