Review
'What's cool about Phaidon Press' Wallpaper City Guides is that they're small enough to fit in a purse or backpack, and colorful enough to find amidst all the other stuff crammed in there. What's even cooler is that they cut through all the regular travel-brochurese and focus on the edgiest nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, gyms, spas and stores.' Sky-Delta Airlines 'Ultra-stylish.' Time Magazine 'Attractive and well-researched.' USA Today 'No ordinary range of city guides - for the business traveller who wants to break free from their hotel - For anyone who relishes an alternative view of life' Royal Wings 'Don't just paint the town, Wallpaper it.' Cara (Aer Lingus in-flight magazine), September 2006 'While the pocket-sized guides will look very slick lined up on a shelf, they're made for travelling.' Easyjet 'Concise, informative manuals from people who've actually been there. They're refreshingly devoid of details on the nearest backpacker's hostel, too. And they look very pretty.' Esquire 'Sophisticated but simple.' The New York Times 'Sparkling images and convenient format' Frame 'Small, stylish and beautifully illustrated, the Wallpaper* City Guides make everything else look old hat. ... The photographs and maps are superb.' The Sydney Magazine 'For a different way to see a city, they're damn near indispensable.' Gay Times

Product Description
"Wallpaper* City Guides" not only suggest where to stay, eat, and drink, but what the tourist passionate about design might want to see, whether he/she has a week or 24 hours in the city. Featured are up and coming areas, landmark buildings in an 'Architour', design centres, and the best shops to buy items unique to that city. "Wallpaper* City Guides" present travellers with a fast-track ticket to the chosen location. The edited guides offer the best, most exciting, and the most beautiful of that particular city. As well as looking beautiful, the guides are expertly designed with function as a priority, and have tabbed sections so that the tourist can easily find what they are looking for. There are maps, rate and currency cards, colour-coded parts of the city, and an easy navigational tool. They are the ultimate combination of form and function.
