"But the book which got me hankering to visit Berlin this year is essentially a photography book: Berlin: Portrait of a City, just published by Taschen, a company renowned for producing excellent books. Even by its standards, Berlin, edited by Hans Christian Adam, is outstanding, packed with photographs chronicling life (and of course, sometimes death) in this extraordinary city for the last hundred years, backed up with essays and quotations from sometime Berlin residents like David Bowie and Jeffrey Eugenides."
