5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievably great book at an unbelievably low price, March 11, 2003

This review is from: Prague: Past and Present (Hardcover)

Buy now! I was busy the day this book arrived in the mail but I had to stop and look through the whole book page by page - all 136 of them. Large format book with spectacular pictures of all the well-known and many of the lesser known sites around Prague. Every page is jam-packed with beautiful pictures and concise legends. Not an academic-type book but plenty of text present as well for those who can stop looking at the pictures long enough to read it. Highly recommended and worth many times its price. Only drawback at all is I would have liked to have seen more on Vysehrad and those 4 incredible statues in the park next to Sr. Peter and Paul Church but that is only a personal wish and in no way detracts from this spectacular book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Photologue, August 27, 2006

This review is from: Prague: Past and Present (Hardcover)

Simply beautiful in its layout, this book explores the popular and hidden corners of this old city, untouched by the wars that so damaged much of old Europe. The photos are simply perfect in bringing the feel of Prague.

This is a must buy for your coffee table collection and may just inspire you to go stroll its streets in person!

Enjoy!
