Entitled Man-Made Philadelphia (M.I.T. Press; $3.95), the guide is a boon to tourists and may open Philadelphian eyes as well. Instead of starting with the usual panegyric to Founder William Penn, it begins with three pages of maps of major streets, bus routes and the subway system-the city's bone structure. The guide duly describes and portrays such Philadelphia splendors as Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, the old residential area of Society Hill, the Beaux Arts vistas of Ben Franklin Parkway. But the authors always remind the reader that there...

...effect on the author's pocketbook. Philadelphian Jacqueline Susann, an advocate of brotherly, sisterly, fatherly, motherly, and potato love, has made it to "the top of Mount Everest" as her dolls have not. Writing in an orange, red, and yellow den which she wittily calls "the chamber of horrors," the former acrtess and five-time winner of the Best-Dressed TV Star award has stirred up a honeypot and attracted all the bees from the shyest bus driver to 20th-Century...
