Annotation
A travel guide to the fictional setting of two ABC soap operas,
General Hospital and the town's eponymously named spin-off,
offers readers gossip, history and other juicy details about the
town's inhabitants. Original. 35,000 first printing.
Summary
Lucy Coe, the once mousy librarian who turned into a
villainous liar, schemer, vixen and unlikely heroine takes us on a
tour of Port Charles where, she says, you're as likely to encounter
a den of not-so-secret agents as you are a gold-hearted, gun-toting
"coffee importer." But Lucy isn't your only guide. Other storied
characters from the show step in to take a leg of the tour.
In these pages, you'll find the lowdown on the history of
their fair (if not always just) city, where to settle, what to eat,
how to have fun, whom to befriend and whom to avoid. Please don't
be put off by some of the more evocative tidbits you'll find
within.
There are walking tours. Even though Lucy says the best way to
see any city is in the back of a chauffeured limousine ? or better
yet, by helicopter, but some have budgets. For economy-conscious
travelers Lucy offers a slew of tours that'll cost you nothing but
the indignity of being seen in sturdy footwear.
Every stop along the way provides gossip, history and sordid
details. There is section devoted to the town's heroes, tips on
"Where to Gorge," "Where to Worship," a suggested scavenger hunt,
reviews of the many Port Charles Balls, and, of course, quizzes the
reader can take to determine where they would fit if they were
lucky enough to be a Port Charles resident.
