Get Lost! The Cool Guide to Amsterdam
Joe Pauker, who refers to himself as "a goof," has compiled what is perhaps the funniest, most original guide available to the city of Amsterdam. Get Lost! The Cool Guide to Amsterdam, which is clearly not aimed at mainstream travelers, will take you to the places that standard guidebooks don't bother to cover (at least not in any detail): sex shows, hemp and 'shroom shops, and places where you can get free samples of cheese when you're too low on cash to buy food. Pauker's not shy about sharing his opinions, either.

Simple Guide to Holland, Customs and Etiquette
Because all the Dutch speak English so well, it is easy in Holland to get the feeling that everything is just like it is at home. To a large extent things are much the same. It is the subtle little differences that perhaps neither you nor your Dutch acquaintances are fully aware of that can cause you the most trouble. That is what this book is about. It gives you a chance to learn from my mistakes.---Author
