Travel Guide Antwerp / Guide book

Antwerp and Ghent (Footprint Pocket Guides)  -  Clare Thomson
The latest addition to Footprint's acclaimed pocket series is the first guidebook dedicated to one of the most happening cities in Europe. Once known as Europe's diamond capital, and its second largest port, the proud Flemish city has transcended its trading past to embrace the 21st century with bags of style and a certain nonchalance. Today, cutting-edge fashion designers rub shoulders with young artists and film-makers in the city's buzzing bars and nightclubs. Nearby Ghent, meanwhile, does little to draw attention to itself, leaving this ancient gem to those in the know.
Paperback 256 pages (February 24, 2006); Publisher: Footprint Handbooks; Language: English; ISBN: 1904777759.

"Time Out" Brussels: Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges 
Paperback 366 pages (October 7, 2004); Publisher: Time Out Group Ltd
Walcheren (Battleground Europe S.)  -  by Andrew Rawson
This latest addition to the successful Second World War Battleground Europe Series describes the fierce campaign, codenamed INFATUATE, mounted in November 1944 to clear the way through to the port of Antwerp. This was a vital task as the Allies lacked sufficient port facilities to provide for the increasing quantities of war supplies required as the advance eastwards took them closer to Germany. There was a danger of lines of communication becoming over-extended. A leading role was played by British Royal Marine commandos but all who took part in both D Day and this landing regarded the former as a picnic! As the book vividly describes, the Germans fought with extraordinary courage against overwhelming odds and refused to surrender although all must have known defeat was inevitable. The winter weather was another major problem and the terrain was extremely difficult.
Paperback 144 pages (August 2003); Publisher: Pen and Sword Books Ltd

Antwerp is and always has been one of the major cities of Flanders, the Flemish speaking part of Belgium.  Situated on the banks of the river Scheldt, it has been a centre of commerce and culture since the Middle Ages. The Antwerp diamond industry, for example, can be traced back to the 15th century. Its international port on the North Sea is one of the largest in Europe.
At half an hour's drive from the Belgian capital Brussels, headquarters of the European community, it lies at the cross-roads of international traffic.
