The photographs are superb but it is the writing and inside information that makes this book so fascinating. Huge thanks to Paul Duncan and Alain Proust for producing it. I just wish that they; or somebody; would lead "Hidden Cape Town walks round some of the lesser-known and not always open to the public buildings that are featured.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

If you have time in Cape TownBy Bonnie B NeelyHIDDEN CAPE TOWN BY PAUL DUNCAN AND ALAIN PROU is a beautiful book with many full page photographs of thirty of the most impressive and well known historic buildings in this beautiful city. Proust; a world famous photographer; and Duncan; a well-known former writer for Conde-Nast; have combined their expertise to create this outstanding book. Most people who live in or visit Cape Town pass these impressive buildings frequently and often may wonder what their facades hide. In the brilliant; color-filled pages of this book you will go inside to study the works of art; the archetecture; and the history of these magnificent buildings; which you might not otherwise be able to explore. A marvelous book!
