The book has a series of thirty profiles of cities which are diverse in type and situation. The aim throughout has been to avoid a stereotyped framework and bring a fresh approach to each of the places. The result is a series of vivid little portraits which will appeal as much to the armchair traveller as to the globetrotter. Some fifty photographs have been chosen from a vast material to reflect the authors’ impressions of each city. The cities include San Francisco, New York, Mexico City, Montreal, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Havana, Bombay, Dehli, Goa, Singapore, Batavia, Shanghai, Harbin, Durban, Tananarive, Paris, Dijon, Moscow, Monte Carlo, Rome, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Lisbon, Cologne, Prague, London, Liverpool, Venice and Marseilles.
