In my ongoing promotion of print travel guidebooks, I’m happy to recommend the new Carl Goes Amsterdam guide. You may remember previous posts here on Carl Goes London and Carl Goes Berlin.This quirky series focuses on travel for creative types and modern urban nomads who want to combine their wanderings with work. Of course, you’ll also find lots of info on food, drink, sightseeing, biking, and general hanging about.
