Tokyo on Foot

This isn't the usual travel guide book that tells you where to go, it's one that Florent Chavouet drew to show you where he went. He's a French guy who's in Japan to accompany his girlfriend because she's working there. It's a 208-page paperback filled with colour pencil drawn observations on the places he went. There are interesting notes on the people and culture and his many little adventures. His colour pencil illustrations are nice, and gives Tokyo a very different look and feel. It's a light-hearted look at Tokyo as a tourist. The hand drawn maps are beautiful with icons and places of interest. On some pages, there are collages from things he collect, like cutout of manga panels and the bicycle parking tickets he got for parking in restricted areas. It's an amusing book to check out.
