What's Cool Berlin (Vols. 1 and 2)
By David Tabatsky (Syndicate Publishing, 1993
and 1995)
An instant hit among tourists and residents, this
was the first English-language guidebook to
Germany's capital written by someone who
actually lived there. Highly informative but
thoroughly irreverent, Tabatsky’s handbook to
Berlin's future capital sold out both editions and
is no longer in print. “A witty and off-beat guide”
(New York Times); "Very funny und ideal für den
‘Quick Trip’ nach Berlin” (Prinz); “Cool sind
Tabatsky’s dunkler humor” (BZ Kultur).
