ALL ABOARD!
Notes from the Underground is a collection of informative and entertaining travel essays and photos on the art, architecture and design of 22 subway systems located in 18 countries on four continents. The book describes the visual culture of each subway, metro, tube or u-bahn—its architecture, art installations, vehicles, map, logo, and even typeface—and explains how each system reflects the distinct personality of the city it serves.
