Down to This: Squalor and Splendour in a Big-City Shantytown

Card covers show light shelf wear.; A bright, solid book.; Trade PB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 475 pages; "One cold November day, Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall heads out on just such a quest. He packs up a new tent, some clothes, his notebooks and a pen and goes to live in Tent City, twenty-seven lawless acres where the largest hobo town on the continent squats in the scandalized shadow of Canadas largest city (Toronto). The rules he sets for himself are simple: no access to money, family or friends, except what he can find from that day on. Hell do whatever people in Tent City do to get by, be whatever bum, wino, beggar, hustler, criminal, junkie or con man he chooses to be on any given day."
