Synopsis
This box set contains five guides for the globe-trotting business traveller. It includes five of the world's top financial centres and key destinations for international business people - Frankfurt, Hong Kong, London, New York and Tokyo - presented in a specially-designed box. Themed box sets are a new addition to the "Wallpaper* City Guides" series for Fall 2008: as well as the "World Cities Business" collection, three other box sets will also be available, featuring Art Fairs, Beach, and Fashion cities respectively. "Wallpaper* City Guides" not only suggest where to stay, eat, and drink, but what the tourist passionate about design might want to see, whether he/she has a week or 24 hours in the city.Featured are up-and-coming areas, landmark buildings in an 'Architour', design centres, and the best shops to buy items unique to that city. "Wallpaper* City Guides" present travellers with a fast-track ticket to the chosen location. The edited guides offer the best, most exciting, and the most beautiful of that particular city.
As well as looking beautiful, the guides are expertly designed with function as a priority, and have tabbed sections so that readers can easily find the information they are looking for. The guides include rate and currency information, maps and a colour-coding system to help you navigate the different parts of the city. They are the ultimate combination of form and function."About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
