Excellent book for the first-time visitor or resident or anyone between.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Excellent, well-written book about one of the great cities of the world. Orderly, logical structure for the first-time visitor as well as for those who visit Prague often or live there. Not only a good writer but an accurate, non-revisionist historian. A pleasure to read and to share with others.
