Field Guide Oxford

Imagine having a hip, in-the-know friend in every city you wanted to visit. And imagine that he's excited when you say “hey, I'm going to be in town for a few days; anything I shouldn't miss?” So excited, in fact, that he riffs for 145 entire pages about secret spots, local intel, insider trivia, and hot tips that you'd never have known otherwise. Anyway, that's kind of what a Wildsam Field Guide feels like. Their Oxford, Mississippi edition includes: stories about Faulkner and country ponds, the Square, illustrated maps to literary landmarks, distillers, flower farmers, and of course, a round-up of selective recommendations.
