Reviews

'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; '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
