Overview

Revised and updated, the popular On Foot Guides offer city tours in a totally new way—illustrating a variety of walks with full-color, aerial-view, three-dimensional maps to give users an immediate sense of each route and what can be seen along the way.

Nick O'Donnell always seems to be out of town. But don't worry. If you can't join him on a roadtrip, you might catch him onstage in Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, New York, Montana, London, or Seattle. Since graduating from Carleton College, he has also found himself writing speeches for the United Way, ads for Macy's, health-related articles for Allina Hospitals, and Post-It notes to his wife, Sydney.
