Description:
There are endless publications about Amsterdam, but a summary, encyclopedic and historical reference work with the most diverse facts about the city occupies a special place among them. The predecessor of the book was first published fifty years ago as 'Het ABC van Amsterdam'. This book formed the basis for 'Amsterdam van A tot Z' from 1966. In 1995 HET XYZ VAN AMSTERDAM followed, of which an updated edition has now been published. It goes without saying that such a large work must remain manageable and that completeness cannot therefore be pursued. However, the compilers have distributed the approximately 3000 keywords as broadly as possible over the many facets of the city and its impressive and interesting past. In this way, a wide range of facts, buildings, streets, districts and people are discussed in detail.
