New Orleans: The Making of an Urban Landscape by Peirce F. Lewis (Center for American Places, paperback, $19.50)

"The best introduction in print to any American city. Much more than a great local guidebook, it is also a model for understanding American cities in general. Using witty, engaging, and accessible text and illustrations, Lewis directs our attention to the large-scale processes that affect New Orleans, as well as how those processes are linked to what we can see in the everyday streets and buildings of the city."  --Paul Groth, professor at University of California, Berkeley.

This classic work recounts the evolution of New Orleans, from the early seventeenth century to the present. It tells the story of how the city acquired its special personality and geographic shape in an engaging and even-handed manner. Includes a gallery of maps, illustrations, and black and white photographs of the city and its surroundings.

The Louisiana Houses of A. Hays Town by Cyril E. Vetter and Philip Gould (LSU, hardcover, $45.)

New Orleans Elegance and Decadence by Richard Sexton and Randolph Delehanty (Chronicle, hardcover, $40.)

Lavishly illustrated with beautiful full-color photographs of New Orleans interiors and exteriors. A great coffee table book and a local favorite for gift-giving. Wonderful for flipping through and sharing with visitors.
