2.0 out of 5 stars Berlin and Eastern Germany, June 25, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Blue Guide Berlin and Eastern Germany (Paperback)

This book is out-of-date. When I used it I found that many things had changed, even a museum had been moved to another building, a recommended beer had gone out of business, following directions, streets now have "do-not-enter" signs on them. I like Blue Guide a lot, and the book is still good for the inside of churches and museums that have not changed. But overall, I would not buy this book until they come out with an updated version. East Germany is changing fast and you need the most current information available.

2.0 out of 5 stars Jangling on a certain butted nerve, February 14, 2004

This review is from: Blue Guide Berlin and Eastern Germany (Paperback)

One has to just say that this tome is a veritable tease my chauffeur had it but we were lost several times in back streets which Miss Massey had not even bothered to tell us would or might or possible could encumber our progress. Also, I have to say that the constant feeble attempts at "jokes" come somewhat short of the standards expected, indeed required, by one. All in all a tome to be thrown from the chauffeur's window, as it was, to lie forlorn on some strasse or other as we sped away.
