Reviews

[Susan · Rating 4 out of 5]

excellent overview of Germany read in prep for our trip

[Autumn Kearney · Rating 3 out of 5]

I liked this book. However I must state that I did not check it out of the library for travel plans. I have friends that are from there. I wanted to see the photographs contained within.

I must warn anyone using this book on an electric device. The black and white photo in the front of the author did not fare well. It looks ghastly and ghostly. It was almost like a negative. It was creepy.

Other than that, Germany looks like a beautiful place in here.

Really well done if one was seeing the entire country; a little more sparse if one is focusing on one area.

[Hurricane_ReD · Rating 4 out of 5]

A solid guide, but unfortunately has some spelling & grammar errors. Also incredibly impractical for taking with you TO Europe, because it's fairly heavy for a paperback.
