This is easily one of the best travel guides I've ever come across. If you plan on travelling Europe by car, you would be crazy to not get this book. Even if you don't plan on driving, it is still a wise investment because of all the other travel information that it contains. It is well written and very informative. The author also makes a great case on why you SHOULD travel Europe by car. This book is a must have for European travellers.

This guide provides a wealth of information, and I agree with its premise that traveling Europe is best done via automobile. I also thought the physical make-up of the book was excellent. It was created in a way that allowed one to open to a page, and the book would stay open. This sounds of little benefit, but I was constantly referring to it as it lay on the passenger seat while I drove. Traffic signs, language translations, local customs - everything was covered. I loved the introduction detailing his first trip to Paris - funny stuff! He also addresses the myths associated with European driving. Buy it! You won't regret it.

This book was fabulous! I loved the fact that pictures of street signs were depicted in the book - which helped before we came upon them to know what they meant. I also liked the specifics on speed limits (and what repercussions to expect with traffic violations!)and other traffic laws that change at every border. We even used it to drive in Eastern Europe and were pleased with the accuracy of the author's information. I agree that motoring through Europe is the only way to go; the freedom is unbelievable! I'm disappointed to learn that this book - which seems to be the only one of its kind - is out of print.
