This month Taschen, the Germany-based publisher of those gorgeous photo-packed coffee-table books on fine art and design, rolled out the latest in its new softcover guidebook series that it launched in spring. "Berlin, Hotels & More" follows books on Paris and London, and all with the signature Taschen look -- lots of photos -- with suggestions in three languages on where to eat and stay.

If you're using the guidebooks, be prepared to take a wad of cash: Listings are high-end. Among them the George V in Paris and Claridge's in London.

The guidebooks run about $25 and are available from www.great-escapes-hotels.com.
