Actually read this a couple years ago (got it for Christmas), but didn't realize it was on Goodreads.
Michael Cho is a fantastic artist, his work in comics and other illustration is superb. But this book, these images of Toronto, are my favourites. Superb talent. Highly recommend everyone checks out his work, and picks up this book.

What a beautiful book! I didn't grow up in Toronto, but in the past several years I've lived and visited places that look similar to the drawings in this book, and Cho gets them exactly right. His use of ink, colour, light, shadow, line, texture, it's all bang on. The notes throughout the book were nice to read too. A nice touch that the last words are "the city keeps changing."
