A strong sense of irony and a lively prose style make Geert Mak's Amsterdam one of the most unusual and engaging 'city books' I have read this year
Sunday Times
Lovers of Amsterdam will revel in the exhaustive reconstruction of everyday life in the medieval city
Independent on Sunday
Mak's brief is... to bring Amsterdam into the modern age. This he does with wit and style. But his real achievement... is to make accessible unfussily - and unsentimentally - one of Europe's most astonishing urban success stories
James Woodall, Financial Times
This excellent book is more than essential
