I had two books; two editions of "Alternative Vancouver". They pointed out where, in Vancouver, Canada, you can find rooms for $15/night, meals for less than $5, 2-hand clothing stores, used CD shops, radical bookstores, & bars where the underground bands play. Unfortunately i lent them to a friend who lost them & found that they are out of print. I've never found another copy since not even in used bookstores.
I have a book "The Underground Guide to San Francisco" by Manic D Press. It shows where to find the inexpensive hotels, eateries, bookstores, & other supplies & entertainment.
This is what i'm looking for -- underground guides to many other cities in the US, Canada, or just about anywhere. I'm interested in seeing what most tourists never hear of, what many of the locals enjoy, the darker side of town which the world never sees, the experiences that distinguish one town from all the others.
If you see anything like this in any bookstore, catalogue, or a friend's house, please let me know. I'd appreciate it.
