Joe Pauker s Get Lost! the Cool Guide to Amsterdam (Get Lost) 
Product Description: - Joe Pauker is back! This 10th edition of his Cool Guide sizzles with new and exciting things to do in Amsterdam. Opinionated, but never irreverent, Get Lost! remains the only guide to cover Amsterdam s underground culture accurately and extensively, leading travellers to the cheapest, funkiest and most delicious spots in town: inexpensive organic restaurants, the coolest bars and clubs, an incredible array of alternative museums, mind-expanding cafes, one-of-a-kind shops, and, of course, the kinkiest corners of the Red Light District. Readers trust The Cool Guide for practical information, and for the lowdown on more obscure topics such as local pirate radio, and the squat scene. As always, it s printed on eco-friendly recycled paper with vegetable-based inks. With Joe Pauker s legendary guide, every traveler has a cool friend in Amsterdam.
Customer Ratings: - More for Hippies.... Not a bad book at all! I am not a hippie though. If you are, which is perfectly great, this is the book for you! It is all about finding the best deals and an honest review on all hotels, hostels, restaurants, night life and of course coffee houses hee hee!
- Terrific Book. I am going to Amsterdam for 3 weeks next month. First time. I have read several other guidebooks but I have to admit, I really felt that I was getting the inside scoop with this book. It can be a little crass, but it s quite well written and pretty funny at times. Mostly, I felt I got a lot of good information from it. I was afraid it would all be about pot smoking, but it wasn t ay all. The cheap eats were worth the price of admission alone.
I highly recommend this book! - Quirky and Informative. This guide was very helpful containing not so usual info about the usual sights, as well as having a good readability. Not like other strict guides, that seem written by computers, this guide offers opinions that allow the reader to make better decisions about what to see and how to see so much of the city - it s like having a freind along to guide you.
- Great Book for It s Purpose. This is a great supplemental book for Amsterdam if you are looking for off the beaten track places. I know that my partner and I will use this book well when we go to Amsterdam.
- Well organized and not cluttered. A great guide for finding your way around Amsterdam. Unlike other guides, the descriptions and information are very opinionated and to the point--don t expect 12 page picture tours of museums. There is a decent section on coffee houses (High Times recommends Barney s), but very little attention is given to the oldest profession. Pauker does recommend some escort services that don t exploit women (for the socially conscious individual) and a few voyeuristic experiences such as live intercourse. And although this guide may be geared toward the college student or other individuals with similar tastes, the suggestions for breakfast, late night snacks, quick eats, shopping, and hanging-out in general will benefit even the most conservative traveler (though she ll probably be annoyed by the author s naive understanding of economics). Definitely worth the $10, though I recommend that you accompany this book with a mainstream detailed supplementary guide such as Frommer s, which also comes with a good map.
