For a great Pittsburgh bookshelf, though, all you need are books.
Fortunately, there are a lot of excellent Pittsburgh books out there histories, biographies, novels, photography, even poetry (really!). For our purposes, we kept it limited to books either about Pittsburgh as a subject or stories with Pittsburgh as a setting. Our list is fairly heavy on fiction and history, which are plentiful. If you’ve got some additions, we’d love to hear them. ....
