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.
