London The Secrets and the Splendour Author:Nick Yapp From Library Journal: — Almost as good as a trip to London, this marvelous book provides an eclectic tour of one of the world's greatest cities. Not quite a guidebook, but not a coffee-table tome, either, London is a visual feast with a breezy style to match. The book is divided into eight sections: — the West End, Westminster, the Tham... more »es, the City of London, the villages of London, the heart of London, historical London, and London's character and characters, and concludes with a brief Who's Who, a list of books and films about London, a glossary, and a helpful index.
The only glaring omission is that there is no detailed map of the city; otherwise, this is a beautiful and readable book.
