Customer Reviews

Nice book, but little has changed since the first edition.

I was very impressed with the first edition of StyleCity Amsterdam, so I bought the second edition hoping for lots of new places to explore. I was disappointed to see that most of the content is identical to the first edition, the same photos, the same text, etc. Overall, I would say that there is only about 10% of the book that can be considered "new." That said, this is a good series of travel guides if you are interested in design, stylish hotels and restaurants, or shopping. The photography is outstanding and makes for a good coffee table book. While there are some maps and information about Amsterdam, there is little practical information about sightseeing, getting to the airport, getting around, etc. If you are a first-time visitor, you would be better off with Lonely Planet or Rough Guide.
