A Burglar's Guide to the City | 
This received a good amount of buzz when released a few years ago, but looking at the feed it's been awhile since it's been posted. Still TBR, this nf historical survey of burglaries & heists sounds informative & fun. I'm sure I'll learn a thing or two about entry points on #rooftop #WishesandBlessings @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @Eggs
At the core of A Burglar's Guide to the City is an unexpected and thrilling insight: how any building transforms when seen through the eyes of someone hoping to break into it.
pickIf you liked the television show Leverage, I think you‘ll like this.
Methadone was initially meant to be crime prevention, not treatment. People forget that... heroin addiction can be directly related to crime rates.
Really enjoying this one on audio today.

These were my favs from this month. Unexpectedly, A Burglar's Guide was amazeballs!!!
pickI've never read anything quite like this before. A very interesting read to get me back into non fiction.
Today was rough, but it's nice to have a chill reading afternoon. Also, I bought a hammock today! With warm weather upon us, I can't wait to get outside to read more #myfavoritethings
pickI absolutely loved this!!! So much fodder for cocktail conversations. 💯
bailedInteresting subject and fresh perspective but either the narrator or the excessive slightly too literary descriptions given the subject matter conspired to make me abandon this audiobook. I might try to give it another go in print
panThe topic is fascinating but this material would have a worked better as a series of interviews for a podcast. The writing is unfocused and facts are thin on the ground.
Walked in to look and walked out with a stack. Story of my life in bookstores.
Recommend sections for this book are MYSTERY and ARCHITECTURE and I don't know if I can think of another book that would also be true for. Non-fiction about the urban considerations of breaking and entering.
No trip to NYC would be complete without a trip to the Strand. Picked up a book that got lots of good buzz.
pickA deep look into real-life criminals & their love of solving the greatest urban dilemma: how to get into a building w/out using the front door. Feat. interviews w/retired & not-so-retired burglars, law enforcement, and private security personnel, ABGttC opens the vault door on the world of burglary.
pickUrban exploration! Heists! Dumb criminals! Architecture!
