Alfred A. Knopf has long been recognized as one
of the premier publishers of literary fiction and non-fiction.
The books have become synonymous with literary merit
and quality craftsmanship -- and are distinguished by
the Borzoi logo.
Knopf Guides are ideal for literary, art, architecture
and history buffs. They bring to life each destination's
individual color and character, treasures and history,
and provide essential, practical information as well. We
suggest, however, that you don't rely on these guides
for hotel and restaurant information.
Each guide features:
-
Informative background information:
These portable encyclopedias include chapters on History,
Language, Nature, Art, Traditions, and Architecture.
-
Engaging graphics: Hundreds of
full-color and black and white photographs plus an
assortment of illustrations, maps, cut-away drawings
and sidebars.
-
Advice on how to get the most out of your
trip: Detailed itineraries that will guide
you through each destination's major sights and surprising
fascinations, as well as the history and lore that
surround them.
-
Practical guidance: Essential information
on local transportation, hotels, restaurants, galleries,
museums, currency, useful addresses, and more.
