Great for anyone in or from Portland; but i wish it wasn't so dry (no pun intended)By SileaI suspect nearly anyone who's ever lived in Portland and has a curious mind will delight in this book. It documents the most absurd things; from house color by neighborhood to noise level in Providence Park by minute in a Timbers game. It is utterly and completely Portland; except that it lacks a sense of humor. (We actually had a debate about whether this was appropriately called a 'Cultural Atlas'; or if it should have been a 'Cultural Encyclopedia'. Either way; it'll help you find the neighborhood with the highest density of brewpubs.)Would it appeal to someone with no connection to Portland? Probably not. Even infographic addicts might be disappointed; as the infographics; though plentiful; play second fiddle to a great deal of explanatory text.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful.

Worth the moneyBy Darrick WilliamsI've lived in Oregon my whole life; and am pretty familiar with Portland. Even so; this book is great! It's full of fun facts; the maps are gorgeous; and everyone who visits me just can't help but take a look. It's not necessary to read cover to cover; it's enjoyable to just pick up and randomly open to any section. In my opinion; if you are new to Portland; or if you just love the city; this is a great addition for your bookcase or coffee table.
