4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Western Europe, June 16, 2009

Good for hitting the highlights. Some of the recommendations to restaurants are pricey. Not "Europe", it's Western Europe. Doesn't really hit Eastern Europe too much. All in all, decent.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointment Book, October 17, 2010

When I ordered this book, I was eager and couldn't wait to receive it. The day I received it and read part of it, was a complete disappointment. First, the book title is misleading!! it should have been "Western Europe" only, it didn't cover all Europe. Second their is not much of assistance how to plan touring Europe by roads, and the attached Europe map is for Railways, small little maps and hardly gives any of the useful information, which is worthless to me.

My main intention of buying this book is to guide me on my first plan to travel to Europe by road from M.E. I found no such help from the book on this matter, and I am going to shelf it at the back in my home library, away from my sight. Don't see much of interest in it. I don't recommend it to anyone at all, unless someone wants to know some information about W.E. countries, main cities, hotels, restaurants, places of interest, etc. which you can easily get from the internet.

Seller delivered promptly and book was in great condition. Haven't read the whole thing and I'm sure it will only be put to the test once I travel but it looks like a great guide.
