Your book "Only in Prague" seems to be perfect. Not the common guide. Very interesting. In comparison with the DuMont guide I believe yours is the winner. Congratulations.

We just spent a weekend in Prague and thanks to your great guide we found the most beautiful and unusual places, and many times a day we both said: "Danke, Duncan!"

Hidden Europe magazine (Issue 26, May-June 2009)
In a world where places seem to become ever more similar, it was an absolute joy to stumble on the "Only in..." series of guidebooks written by Duncan J. D. Smith. Each guide identifies 84 distinctive sights within a particular city. Duncan Smith brings to the "Only in..." series the gaze of the enquiring outsider. His approach to places and history appeals to us a lot. The ‘Only in...‘ series is a refreshing antidote to the prevailing tide of uniformity favoured by too many travel guides.
