Summary: very useful
Comment: I found this very useful on a trip to Amsterdam.
the LP authors have done a good job sorting out the citys many highlight. As with all LP guides this features a useful and informative background section.
It misses out of a 5th star becaus the hostel ratings are a bit hit and miss.
Unlike other guides which make a big deal of the "sex & drugs" aspects of Amsterdam the guide tries to present the basics of the wallen (red light district) treating it much like any other part of the city. still there are some interesting listings of the brown cafes that any visitor should experience
ASsd with most LP guides the tilt is towards the independant traveller on a budget and it does a good job for that demographic. enjoy your travels.

Summary: traveling
Comment: I am on holiday in Amsterdam as I write. This book has been invaluable in my stay. I am residing at the Hotel Prinsenhof. I doubt I would have had the good fortune to find this cozy hotel without the Lonely Planet Guide. It is faithful to the Lonely Planet format, providing detailed information including address, phone and fax numbers. There are also tips which have saved me money. One was to purchase a Year Pass for the museums. I now may visit any of the major museums as often as I like, for free. I like free. ;D If you are planning a trip to Amsterdam, or would simply like to find some things you may not have tried, yet, this book will be interesting to you.

Summary: Not worth it
Comment: A useless attempt at a guide book. The writing in unengaging, the maps distorted and misleading, the information given on sights and accomodation far from reliable. It seems the guide is at pains to try to tell the traveller what they can do in Amsterdam--I say, find another guide, or do it on your own. This guide won't help, it will make you a few bucks poorer (and won't list good budget housing--I found accomodation not mentioned in the guide at a fraction of the lowest price published in the guide--complete with a room of my own), and more frustrated.
