Reads almost like a wikipedia page. Found this in the Children's section of the library and within two pages it was dropping lines about how xenophobic Austria is.

In planning my trip to Austria I decided a quick overview of the country would help. I was right! I learned a lot about the regions and what areas I'd like to visit. I also found that there may be a festival when I'm in town and what food the country is known for.

Though a little outdated now, my copy was published nearly 20 years ago, it was a fun and informative book about the general life and culture of Austria. It made me miss it and long to go back!
