it;s my city

Just look at the titles of these books. I would like to own the whole set, but that would probably require a lifetime of Indiana-Jones-like achievements--if not George-Soros-like ones. Good thing they're available to check out at the NY Research Library. Now I just have to apply for a special research library card.
