2.0 out of 5 stars
Flashy but unsatisfying, June 27, 2004
This review is from: StyleCity Barcelona (Paperback)
Pretty at first glance, but lacking sufficient substance. A book for high end people who want to know the expensive exclusive places to shop/eat. The book devotes a lot of space to larger than usual photographs of the establishments reviewed but without labeling the photos, so you are frequently not sure which goes to which. On the left page you might have 5 places reviewed, on the facing page 4 photographs: Sometimes you can guess the correlation, many times not. Only a few very stylish hotels are reviewed. Most of the outdoor photographs are dullish as if taken on a cloudy day. The city is divided into sections and broken down with maps of the restaurants, bars, cafes, shops in that are. This would be a great book if you are very interested in shopping for women's clothing and accessories. For all it's promise, was almost pretty but not worth the money. The cover became separated from the binding after about 6 weeks on my copy.
