Frommer's Amsterdam by Night

Rating:
Summary: why not an update?
Review: a friend gave me a stack of amsterdam guidebooks and this one w as very out of date. However, I found that the authors captured a lot of the spirit of the city and I liked the idea of the irreverence. Why don't they update the club and hotel material and keep issuing this book? Lots of the other books seem geared to older people but this one reads as if it is for twentysomethings who have been around.

Summary: We wish we could give this book 0 stars
Review: My wife and I are from New York City and we're visiting Amsterdam right now. We found so much of the information in this book either out of date or completely wrong that we couldn't even use it. The author's tone is so smug that one wonders if she even likes Amsterdam. The guy at the used book store we brought it to here wouldn't even buy it!

Summary: cool insider tone
Review: some of the information is out of date, but Kelly has the point of view of someone who loves the city. for correct facts i would go to another book, but her essays capture the flavor and mood of the place.
