Book Reviews of Prague: Artel Style
Book Review: The single best guide to Prague
Summary: 5 Stars
We've visited Prague four times in four years, and are constantly buying more guide books. This one is clearly the best of the dozen or so Prague guides that we own.
If you plan to buy only one guide, this should be the one, even though the author says this book should be used as a supplement to more conventional guides. The Artel Guide will point you to more of "inside" Prague than any other guide.
If you plan to buy more than one, then there are a couple of ideas that may prove helpful. First, Prague is constantly changing. New guides are obviously going to cover those changes better than old ones. Keep publication dates in mind. Second, the book does not really try to cover the history of Prague. Consider one of the more 'traditional' guides from Lonely Planet, Frommer, or the like to plug this gap. Third, while Prague is eminently walkable, it is also an easy and wonderful place to get lost. The best map guide we've found, out of about four we've tried, is from Knopf. A new version came out in 2007.
Beyond that, we agree with all the others who've made this Amazon's top rated guide to Prague. Buy it.
Summary of Prague: Artel Style
This is not your standard guide to Prague. Rather, it aims to fill an important niche in the existing tour book market. Beginning with insights drawn from her 14 years living in Prague, Feldman spent a year personally visiting hotels, boutiques and restaurants as research for the book. The result is an unconventional insider's guide to the best Prague has to offer from the perspective of a self-professed shopping expert. ('Look, everyone has a skill set; apparently mine includes locating, and spending money, on fabulous finds,' she intones in the book's introduction.) Written in a conversational, first-person style, Prague: Artel Style includes ideas for uniquely Czech items to buy, and offers practical tips not often found in traditional guidebooks from off-the-beaten-path dining destinations to which rooms to ask for at hotels. Complemented by vintage images and Bethca didn t know facts, the book embodies quirky (but chic) Artel style. Most recently, the book was recognized by the 12th annual Independent Publisher Awards with a gold medal in the organization s Travel Guidebook category.Prague Books
