About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

[Olivia Loccisano · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very useful tool for anyone travelling to Europe and wanting a detailed and specific guide! I recommend only using this book if you know the cities or countries that you intend on travelling to first, because if you are using this book to decide on where in Europe to go, it can be daunting and unhelpful (since there are no pictures-- and visuals are an important factor in understanding where you want to travel to!).

This guide provides very specific information on food, lodging, museums and art galleries, landmarks and travel information for the main cities of all European countries. So, pinpoint your countries first, and then pick up this book to get solid information to put together an itinerary. I do wish the book included some smaller cities, or places not entirely known as tourist cities, such as Neuchâtel, Switzerland-- so its downfall is that the cities it includes are the main metropolitans of those countries.

This is a great read for someone wanting to build an itinerary for a Euro-trip and would like some guidance on where to travel.

There wasn't really anything in this book that I couldn't have found by just Google searching it myself it was textbook places to visit in every country and did not offer me the inside info it was promising. As someone who lives in Europe I don't think that they did a great job representing my country either.

my go to travel guide always, and yes I’m listing this as a book I read so it counts towards my reading goal, I read it front to back 3000 pages so don’t come for me

I found this to be a useful guide in planning my vacation. It was a good starting point and then I got the Rick Steve's books for a more detailed plan of the cities I will visit.
