Publisher's Note
At once completely ordinary and totally unexpected, manhole covers present an infinite variety of design in the commonplace as well as a record of defunct utility companies, forgotten business firms, and obsolete foundries. Now the Melnicks document this singular form of urban industrial art and its place in American culture. 229 illustrations.

Industry Reviews
"Beautifully produced...['Manhole Covers'] has more than 200 quite fascinating examples from around the country, organized by categorary. There's also a hoard of manhole and sewer lore and wry personal tales."
Los Angeles Times Book Review - Kenneth Turan

"The Melnicks' work occupies a rather indeterminate genre category: part history of material culture, part exercise in obsessive photographic cataloguing of related objects, part crypto-Pop artist's book. There is a crisp and even elegant matter-of-factness to their writing and their pictures, a spare functionalist precision."
Publisher catalog - Allan Sekula
