I ended up being stuck in Amsterdam for almost 2 weeks as a result of the volcano. This little book fit right into my pocket and went everywhere with me. I ended up going just about everywhere it recommended and then some. I also had another book, a little larger, that supplemented for trips outside of Amsterdam. There was no doubt that I had perfect coverage and in fact will be lending my books to some friends who will be heading over later and, hopefully will not get stuck in town.

The book is logical. The font is read-able. It fits in a jacket pocket or purse. It does not have a pushy viewpoint. The fold out map was clear.

This guide while in Amsterdam was very useful. Great maps and great tips on all the nooks and crannies of a great city. I liked that it was small enough to carry around and had a pull of map that was useful.
