Product Description
Wallpaper* City Guides not only suggest where to stay, what to eat, and what to drink, but what the tourist passionate about design might want to see, whether he or she has a week or just 24 hours in the city. Some of the highlights include up-and-coming neighborhoods, an 'Architour' of landmark buildings, design centers, and the best shops to buy unique items.
Wallpaper* City Guides present travelers with a fast-track ticket to the chosen location. The tightly-edited guides offer the best, most exciting, and the most beautiful of the featured city. The guides are expertly designed with function as a priority, and they have tabbed sections so that readers can find information easily. The guides include currency rate information, maps, and a color-coding system to help the reader navigate through different parts of the city. They are the ultimate combination of form and function.
The guides are compiled by Wallpaper* magazine experts and their extraordinary network of international correspondents. The writers have put their heads together to come up with fascinating, efficient guides for the hip, urban traveler with his or her finger on the pulse. They are truly the insider's guide to each featured city.
The first Wallpaper* City Guides were published in Fall 2006 on the occasion of Wallpaper*'s first anniversary. For more than a decade, Wallpaper* has been the first to uncover and enticingly present the best urban travel spots from across the globe. The City Guides are the perfect way to present a decade of experience in one precisely edited guide. As of Spring 2008, 60 guides are already available, with 10 new cities and 11 updated editions to come in Fall 2008.

 The non-guidebook guidebook October 15, 2007
Thin, light and right to the point. There is info in this book, but not much of it. I don't like guidebooks to begin with so a light, easy to pin down one like this is passable. You won't find most thins, but the stuff that is in here is decent or better - it has very select information.

This booklet fits into a pocket, extract it and thumb through as you wait for your pankoeken breakfast. Think of an interest, or a need, for the day (or evening) and you will find something here that will surprise and delight. Neither a "best of' nor a "see every wonder" compendium, it's a rich source for modern Amsterdam and those items selected for inclusion.
