    I’ve been thinking about this lately…we need to set up a MN/urban/transport/land use book exchange. Many of the titles are available in libraries, but I’m sure there are several that are not.

    I recently bought Myron Orfield’s Region: Planning the Future of the Twin Cities, which is more academic than a leisurely read. The maps are pretty great though.

    I also just grabbed Twin Cities Noir

    All of the Larry Millett books are on my Xmas list, along with Charles Mongomery’s Happy City

    Of course every Streets.MN reader should own their own copy of Jeff Speck’s Walkable City and read it before bed every night.
