This review is from: The Ghosts of Berlin - Images of a Divided City (Paperback)

I've always been fascinated by the incredible changes that Berlin has experienced especially on the latter half of the 20th century.

This book was recommended to me by a friend and the images do not disappoint - so much so I've also bought the authors other book "Pillboxes - Images of an Unfought Battle".

This photo book shows some remarkable images of some locations I'd never heard of and how the city changed so very quickly after 1989. Very Recommended!

This review is from: The Ghosts of Berlin - Images of a Divided City (Paperback)

GHOSTS OF BERLIN is certainly not what I had hoped it would be. It features poor quality paper, rather poorly reproduced photos (one gets the sense it was created on a good personal printer), and captions that, for the most part, are fairly uninformative: I knew what I was looking at, but I am pretty familiar with Berlin's recent history. If you are not, you won't have your world enlightened by the captions. Taken as a whole or in parts, I would never have bought this book if I had know how inadequate it would prove to be. Save your money, seriously.
