Portland Hill Walks

REVIEWS

“…an excellent guidebook celebrating Portland’s landscapes and neighborhoods. The focus on history and geology, and anecdotes on colorful residents of Portland’s past sets Portland Hill Walks apart from ordinary guidebooks.”
           Oregonian
  
“Foster makes Portland Hill Walks come alive with historical background and keenly drawn observations.”
           Booklist
  
“This book is a treasure of information, one of the best guidebooks in many years.”
           The Statesman Journal, Salem, Oregon
 
 “…a well written, hugely interesting book.”
            Mary Fellows, Annie Bloom’s Books
 
“…a guidebook that leads readers and walkers into the weave of the fabric that makes Portland one of the most livable and loved cities in the country.”
           Commerce: The Business of Oregon Building
 
 
 "Laura Foster has written a wonderful walking guide to many of Portland's finest neighborhoods, adding a wealth of information and historical context along the way. She's not only familiar with these routes, she's fond of them."
         Earl Blumenauer, U.S. Congressman, Oregon

"Portland Hill Walks is unlike many of the popular national [guidebooks] and makes a great guidebook, even for locals. The excellent photos provide perspective on how much things have (or haven't) changed over the years. The walks in this book are good enough to warrant repeat visits, with new treasures awaiting discovery each time."
