In a tradition arguably started by the Codex Calixtinus in the 12th Century, people have been writing highly selective guides to cities for a long time. Claska Hotel's "Tokyo by Tokyo" includes listings like "Uncool places in cool Japan" and "Reaching the city's air pockets of relaxation by bus." TOC's San Francisco Guide folds up using an origami technique, and contains 40 of that cities least well-known and most interesting small restaurants. Craig Mod's Art Space Tokyo starts with 12 art galleries in the city, and then catalogs the surrounding neighborhoods in meticulous detail with beautiful ink paintings and custom maps.
