Only a few chapters of this guide were relevant to the trip I was planning, but it was good to have an overall guide to the area, particularly as we spent a day in Montenegro and another in Bosnia tacked onto the ten days spent in Croatia. As this region becomes less off the beaten track for travelers, I'm sure that guides like these will become more substantial.
