Amsterdam: Made by Hand

This will be so helpful in planning our trip to Amsterdam. It has all kinds of little out of the way, handcraft-y places to visit. We try to find places like this and avoid the standard tourist-traps.

love this small handy book, plan to take it along when we visit Amsterdam, my parents were born there, my grandparents owned their own shops and my great grandfather was a builder and his buildings still remain standing. Can't wait to explore all the unique shops that are hidden down the narrow streets. I especially want to explore the button shop, as I too make things with buttons, so looking forward to our travel back in time.

One book Amsterdam Handmade is practically new , never opened!Handmade Paris is nearly new!Iam so happy with both these little guides to shops/ ateliers/studios/Sent.very quickly!Thank you!

I bought this because I have her Paris book which I LOVE and which is a fabulous inspiration. Sadly, the Amsterdam book is less interesting for me. Right now it is packed up and not accessible so I can't give specific examples, however I really can recommend the Paris one which is a joy to read.

I have a friend who designs and creates her own jewelry- and is generally a crafty tinkerer. She LOVES this book- ecstatically so. She said it even gave her creative ideas on some of her pieces- which turned out to be her MOST popular.

Excellent, it reveals all the little boutique shops that you need to check. Specially if you are looking for unique creative things. It's a pocket size book.

Sweet little book on hidden gems of my favourite European city. Well worth the buy.

it's a nice "little" book.i think is too little, though.the images don't show enough. it is certainly poetic and interesting, but i was very excited and intrigued by the title, so when it arrived, i couldn't help but to be a little disappointed.
