Love the atmospheric photos and evocative text. Initially I was a little disappointed at the size of the book but then realised this made it perfect for taking on your travels. Made me really want to visit the city.

Searching for something special in a foreign place can be a nightmare. Enter Pia Jane Bijkerk and her wonderful little book. Small enough to carry around, you will not want to be without this guide. Glorious ceramics, clothes, jewellery and unusual objects and more. Clearer photos than the Paris book and intriguing objects should set your heart aflutter and make you want to discover more. Research online or go there in person. Pia opens an Aladdin's cave of desirable things, many of which you would be hard pushed to discover without this book. This review first appeared on Karen Platt's book review website.

If your lucky enough to be visiting Amsterdam anytime soon, or want to do some virtual visiting then make sure you pick up a copy of this Amsterdam Made by Hand. It's a great "alternative" guidebook to the more seedy kinds of "alternative" usually pursued in the city. Not just catering to the its title track of handmade, Pia also has a smattering of upcycled, vintage to keep us lovers of old things happy.
