also, I'm specifically looking for a book that is about how parking lots cause cities to die- anyone know what the title is?

book list thread
I know there are a couple threads that have some great books recommended, but I can't really find what I'm looking for right now. I thought I'd start a new one dedicated bike and infrastructure books.
Post your recommendations here! Thanks.

Don't know that book, at least not off the top of my head, but if you are going to start a book list about bikes, infrastructure and transportation (my add, on the last one), the first book I would recommend would be Traffic.

thanks S, I just looked it up and requested it from the library.
I believe the other book I was thinkg of might be The High Cost of Free Parking.

When the Big Idea re-opens, we will have a section of books curated by Bike PGH, so there will be a good bit cool stuff there!

RF - I thought I saw you at their party! That's my new favorite book store in the city, I'm really sad I didn't even know it existed until recently. Very dangerous places, book stores are, at least for written word junkies.

I didn't know you were there! Yeah, I'm a member-owner (food coordinator and personnel coordinator). That night I was just a server though

Since I know both of you on sight, I'll introduce you if you're both in the same spot. Problem is, I myself will have my face in a book and may not notice.

I just picked this up: http://boingboing.net/2010/08/13/kenk-graphic-novel-h.html
haven't read it yet, but for fans of graphic novels, the artwork looks incredible.
