This guide is pretty solid, I've seen last year's edition too and this one is even better in terms of coverage. The Russia/Ukraine/Baltics material is esp helpful as compared to competing guides.

This review is from: Let's Go 2005 Eastern Europe (Let's Go: Eastern Europe) (Paperback)

This guide blows my other's out of the water on one thing: where to eat and sleep for cheap. Its recconmendations on nice, independent and cheap hostels and places to eat are the best, hands down. Way better than Lonely Planet or Rough Guides. The guide is a bit "Eastern Europe Lite" on most things as it crams in a ton of countries and cities but, nevertheless, it is worth buying soley for the accomodations section.
