This book has slightly dated information. Much information is generalized. Great for understanding the history, food, and activities of the country. Yet there were several times the author claimed many facts as true when they were just his personal opinions. Best if complemented with other books or resources.

Good book, maybe a little shorter than I thought, it has 300 pages, but large letters and small pages

I like very much this series and although was intended to expatriates you may use the book for travels.This volume for Belgium was a fine complementation to the much more academic book A throne in Brussels;some bits are hilarious and you could learn very much about waloon/flemish conflict.The design of the series(first impressions;land and history,settling in,food and drink,culture,sport and travel,language,business and work and quiz to test yourself)is always efficient.You could use this for a global vision and then search in other books(some are indicated)or sites(a lot indicated)to deep down.
