Reviews
'This pithy, erudite yet resolutely unpretentious book is a celebration of the invigorating, inspiring pleasures of strolling just for the sake of it.' * Buzzmag *
'Nicholson is a marvelously direct writer of indirect subjects who doesn't have a lot of truck with pretense or a sense of misgiving about his subjects. He treads where he likes and doesn't seem to care about commercialism when describing his enthusiasms. ... Nicholson's writing career has been varied, admirable and courageous. He stops to notice uncommercial and even bizarre subjects, shunning well-traveled roads. He goes where he likes. He gets out often. Nobody can imitate him.' Tom Zoellener, LA Review of Books
'A moving, vital book ... a celebration of a life well-lived' -- Yeah Lifestyle
