... that's the title of a book that I recently received a gift and presents the reader with Augsburg's finest shops and workshops located mainly in the old town, so off the famous boulevard ". There are small specialist shops and workshops to offer something special, have the one in the world of standardized products offered by large chain stores that now dominate Europe once in the pedestrian zone, the no more. Many things I have rediscovered this book, which I already in my lodgers Guided tours have presented, for example, the small doll shop at Milk Hill, where set up in the window of several dollhouses are, among other things, there were times - that was a treat for the photographers among my friends - a miniature Frauenarztpraxis the fifties. Which is no longer in the window that it must indeed always something new to offer, but the doll shop is still there and represent, of course in this book, just like the glasses shop the traditional restaurant "barn dance" across from which there specifically for children is and especially in the summer with its picturesque colorfulness notice.
This book is a lot more presented - from the paper mill to Maßhemdenschneiderei, from the shelf to store stucco sculpture, by Japanese violin maker to the tasty tea shop. This book is not only an exploration of Augsburg, has to offer locals a lot new, but a treasure for all lovers of classy, friends of good taste and savor the optical. Because: It is not only in loving detail by the author Wolfgang Köhler documented, but also by Ruth Plössel captured in beautiful photographs, so that the friend is demanding photography at his expense. Overall, a picture and text volume of classical tradition, that is, with equal weighting two elements that complement each other perfectly in a book that you can buy first as a gift, but reserves for itself, because it's just so beautiful. And when you have guests, it is drawn down from the shelf and makes plans for the next joint free afternoon.
