(česká verze níže) Well, I have had many dream jobs – archeologist, urbanist and fantasy-bookstore owner among them. But one of my most persistent ideas was to create a tour-guide for café flaneurs in Brno. Or maybe just any reasonable tour-guide in English about Brno. Back in 2002 when visiting the Baltics, I met for the first time books from In Your Pocket series.
