This was cool! gives you many anecdotes for places in particular towns of note in Europe, historical background, urban legends, etc. I took a while to read it since I wanted to savor it! I left me with a number of places to look up on search engine to get some idea of the place and described. Book looks to be pretty useful if you are headed anywhere in Europe anytime soon, but maybe not necc. something you want or need to travel with.
