Booknews
A fresh presentation about Prague. Along with the usual "sights" the book surveys the history of Prague (one of the oldest cities of Europe), provides glossaries, contains sections for women and children's activities, covers the revolutions occurring in various aspects of Czech political, cultural and economic life. There is much here beyond the travel basics; in short, a great bargain at this price. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
