Summary: A helpful volume
Comment: I have no ability to ascertain what the average person looks for in a travel book, but this volume fufilled all of the basic needs that I had. It gives the reader information about the many areas of the country, including prices, popular attractions, and practical information such as how to use the public telephones (not obvious!), etc... My favorite aspect of the book is that it gives detailed listings ofresturants and eateries within a wide price range. I hesitate to give this book a better rating, simply because the introductory history is somewhat biased and maybe unecessary ( unless you have no familiarity with german histoy. ) and the book is narrated in a fashion that I found slightly vague and irritating. ex; the book mentions that there is always plenty going on in Goettingen, but neglects to say what... but thats trivial, really, and it will answer your basic travel concerns.

Summary: Comparitively good
Comment: I don't understand the very negative reviews. The book may not be perfect, but there is no better German travel guide out there. Believe me, I've looked through bookstores and have not found anything close. I used an older edition (along with "Let's Go Germany") while living in Germany in '98 and use the updated one for frequent return trips. This book's strengths:
1. It was written by a Brit a with a sense of humor, honesty, and a good grasp of German history. If a tourist spot is lame, he is open about it.
2. It has good coverage of quaint, off-the-tourist-track towns which are not covered in other resources. These are the best places to visit because they tend to be attractive, less touristy, and inexpensive.
3. I have found this book's hotel recommendations to be superior. The lists of accomodations are extensive and accurately described. Good recommendations for low/medium priced bed & breakfast type places.
For the most part, I've been pleased with this book and recommend it over anything else currently on the market.

Summary: I hated this book!
Comment: I was living in Germany at the time and this was my least favorite guide book. I really disliked the way it was formated and the fact that some of the info was wrong. Yucky book!!!
