The GUIDE features eleven separate "walks" which will enable aspiring
"pavement artists" to discover and inspect many places, districts and routes which figure in George Smiley's complicated saga.
Searchers in the metropolis can explore these settings and personally experience the locations which
inspired the author. Dedicated "pavement artists" when examining these sites will recall episodes from the novels and imaginatively
visualize themselves slipping into those events.
