If you like Edward Gorey's work, get it. If not, don't.,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Walking Tour of the Shambles (Perfect Paperback)
This book reads like a whimsical guidebook (and is less than a centimeter thick), has playfully macabre art, and all the substance of a marshmallow. If you can't get enough of amusing depictions of dessicating and dying children, shrines to Cthonic gods, and lurking horrors, this might be for you. If you're looking for something mildly engrossing with actual content, keep looking.

pretty good for what it is,

This review is from: A Walking Tour of the Shambles (Perfect Paperback)
...(The list of Wolfe's other books inside the cover doesn't include anything currently in print by the famous sf author). This is a mock sightseers guide to a fictional part of Chicago. While it is well written and entertaining, it is also very short and filled with illustrations, so there is not a whole lot to read. I would recomend it for light reading, however I would not recomend that anyone pay [$$$] for this small amount of literature.

Good, but...,
By j-c-m - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Walking Tour of the Shambles (Perfect Paperback)
I found A Walking Tour to be amusing and clever, but there isn't much material for the price, which is my only real complaint. Recommended for diehard fans of Wolfe and/or Gaiman.

And yes, I do like Edward Gorey. And Ambrose Bierce.,
By Terran McCanna - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: A Walking Tour of the Shambles (Perfect Paperback)
For anyone having a quirky, dark sense of humour, as most diehard fans of Gaiman and Wolfe do, this is well worth tracking down. I had a smile on my face the entire way through, and laughed out loud to myself in several places. Despite its brief length, I can honestly say it gave me more entertainment for the dollar than any blockbuster novel I've read in the last several years.
