Reviews

Lovers of Amsterdam will revel in the exhaustive reconstruction of everyday life in the medieval city
*Independent on Sunday*

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*

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
*Financial Times*

This excellent book is more than essential
