Behind Every Great Book Is A Great Philosophy

The editors at the Book of Everything believe that a place is revealed through the accumulation of detail. It is revealed one fact at a time. You find it in the subtle nuances like the variations in weather or climate, its pride in its favourite sons and daughters, in the local slang, in the brutal crime or in the quiet park that only a tiny neighbourhood could harbour.

We've made it our job to unearth and marshal those facts so that taken together they reveal a portrait. Books of everything are not about restaurant and hotel prices or museum openings. They are books about places. They are books about what makes them tick.
