Add to basketItem description from seller
xvi, 576 p. (Vol. I); x, 590 p. (Vol. II). Note that Anchor Books says this is the first printing of this two-volume work, but Praeger also published a hardcover edition the same year. So actual first printing is a bit confusing. The two volumes contain a vast number of articles dealing with various aspects of urban life in the 20th and (then-unknown) 21st century. The second volume has some discoloration on the fore edges, not affecting anything.
