A city's signs give us a sense of place. This book, though not a complete record of New Orleans' signs, is a record nonetheless. It is an attempt to preserve some of the city's unique words and images before they get painted over, destroyed or forgotten. These signs tell us something about their own environments. The book contains many recognizable signs like City Park, Tujaque's Restaurant and Dew Drop Inn, but it also pictures obscure and humble neighborhood signs and markings that are an integral part of the city's sense of humor and sense of self. Ultimately, it's a picture book meant to entertain. From Tom Varisco, the creator of "Spoiled", the photo book of Hurricane Katrina refrigerator art.
