Places--buildings, neighborhoods, landmarks, and culturaland commercial institutions--help define a city’s unique character, its“sense of place.” This is the key concept behind Placenotes, a wholly newtype of travel guide that features the “one of a kind” places that make a citydistinctive. Not a conventional travel book, Placenotes is a set of individualcards that describe specific places. The front of each card has a colorphotograph that captures the spirit of a particular place. The back of thecard tells the story of the place, often with commentary by a local expert.It also provides all the practical details you need to plan your visit. A map,index of places, and key to symbols come in the set. The cards are containedin a sturdy box with a lid that snaps shut with invisible magnets.
