This is a good place to start when looking for interesting walks. The authors have found some hidden treasures that the normal walker would miss if they didn't know it was there. Where the book falls short is that you pass buildings and streets that seem to be screaming to be identified and the book doesn't even mention them. So we feel we have to walk with a more comprehensive guide to try to identify those things not mentioned on the walk. Means carrying two books instead of one.
