One of a series of authoritative pocket guides introduced last year, the Amsterdam and: guide highlights several of the city's newest and most interesting governmental, residential, and commercial buildings (by architects such as Steven Holl, Renzo Piano, and Kees van der Valk) and also showcases distinctive interior design. Included are short profiles of more than sixty buildings and color photographs to accompany each. This is an indispensable little guide in an attractively designed package that comes with a site map for easy use by tourists and professionals alike.
