Description
A fun reference book for all things Boston; complete with info graphics and glossary of the terms and “slang” that makes Bostonians unique.

The goal is to create a book for all ages to reference whether they’ve been to Boston once, lived here their whole life, or just plan to visit one day. Boston has a lot of universal references throughout pop culture and this book will be the go-to resource for people to learn more, get a laugh, and understand the people of Boston.
