Don't be lured by the reputation and coolness of Wallpaper. I ordered this book before I moved to Oslo.
To me, this book is a directory of advertisers. Each pages is a picture of places with a few captions which read like an advertorial.
What I look for is the detailed information of places in Oslo including direction, sadly, this book doesn't provide them. The book also doesn't have a map.
This book cannot help you plan a trip to Oslo. It just give you a list of must-see place without sufficient information.
So it is better to stick to traditional travel guide books. They are more useful than this book.

Not Worth the Money
6 April 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
I recently purchased two books from this series for a trip to Oslo and Stockholm. I did not find them useful at all and got alot more information from the City websites as well as the Tourist Information booths when I arrived in each city. Even the maps included in the books were not helpful as they were too small. I was not familiar with this series when I purchased the books and could not open them to view them on the Amazon site - maybe that should have deterred me from purchasing them. I would not recommend these at all.

Complete Waste of Money, Not Helpful at all!
15 May 2010
I ordered this (and unfortunately a few other cities as well) thinking they would be little fit in your pocket type things that would contain helpful information on what to see in each city. What they are is just a heap of stupid artisty type photographs of the inside of hotel rooms, random people's flats, cafes, restaurants, shops, and other things you aren't going to be interested in seeing. There's even a page of a photograph of someone's CD and action figure collection in this Oslo one. Doesn't even have the outsides of any things you would actually go and look at and maybe photograph yourself when walking around Oslo. Nor an even half decent map, on the back cover there is a colour map of Oslo yet most of the street names are missing. So useless to find your hostel or whatever you're looking for. No information on how to get to the airports, especially the far away ones that Ryanair and the budget airlines use. A complete waste of money!
For the discerning traveler

I picked up this little book because I found the larger, more comprehensive guide books overwhelming and very one-size-fits-all. If you want info on how to get to the airport or are just looking for a map of Oslo, this is not the guidebook for you. If you are interested in off-the-beaten-path shopping, beautifully designed hotels, and unique dining experiences, definitely get this book. I went to several restaurants recommended in it during my time in Oslo, and thought they were fantastic. Also enjoyed the shopping picks.
