Last fall, Carnegie Mellon University Press released "The Paris of Appalachia: Pittsburgh in the Twenty-first Century," a book by Brian O'Neill that gives a hopeful and heartfelt account of why Pittsburgh was able to hold steady during the recent financial crisis. Less than a year later, "The Paris of Appalachia" has become the fastest-selling book in the press' 35-year history. In this video Brian talks about his book and its main character, the city of Pittsburgh. (Part 1 of 3) http://www.parisofappalachia.com
