It's only at 64 pages, but Parsantium: City at the Crossroads is pretty cool!
I'm really glad you like Parsantium! The book actually has 175 pages :)
I love city sourcebooks and tried to make it as detailed and user-friendly as possible.

Absalom: City of Ultimate Adventure hardcover would be a high priority purchase for me, I have always loved fantasy metropolis hub cities, and sourcebooks detailing them.
In comparing the Pathfinder Guide books to the City State of the Invincible Overlord, the only difference between the two is that the CSOTIO has small descriptions for each building and a one line NPC briefing. The Guide to Absalom has just as much backstory, rumors, encounter tables, and economic information as the oversized city state book. It's the next best thing to having a full breakdown of the city. If we really want a detailed Absalom, then someone should start a thread with a link to the map and we can start assigning buildings one by one until its done. Saves Paizo the effort and we're all happy.

I would totally support that sort of thing! Just don't know how much real interest there would be. A lot of work but worth it.
... build it and they will come
Now that Starfinder is up and running, I feel the time has come for this. A city hardcover/box set! I hear some rpg writing talent has lately become available....
If they don't get it done, you can get a good start by picking up some of the editable RW city guides you can purchase for reasonable prices.
