1 comments about The Rough Guide to Berlin 7 (Rough Guide Travel Guides).
- This book is very biased. It does not deal with the post war history of Berlin at all well. It will not meet the needs of any visitor to Berlin who wants to see the sights and sounds of the old east. This is a great pitty, because this is one of the most interesting and unique features of Berlin - a place where East and West met head on. The book has such a strong pro US stance that I am left wondering if it might have been written by the CIA.

1 comments about Vienna City Streets.
- Good map, but when Borch bought Berndtson & Berndtson they changed the colors, information, and format style of the maps, and although the maps are still acceptable, I personally liked the old formats better, as the maps seemed an easier read.

4 comments about Frommer's Vienna and the Danube Valley (Frommer's Vienna & the Danube Valley).
- This book was so great for our Vienna trip! We were the most well-prepared travellers for this city, which cut out plenty of stress, and allowed us to really enjoy our Vienna experience!
- Chose this guidebook over others as much to check out the Frommer's style as to get travel info. Normally I am a Lonely Planet guy, but since I was staying with friends didn't need a lot of in depth descriptions of logistics (lodging, travel etc.). Just looking for a description of some of the attractions.
I found the guide difficult to use. Although I didn't need much in the way of logistical support, there was really very little. There were only about 4 maps in the whole book and they were spaced out all over the place. Virtually no information on specifics for those arriving overland. Worse, the descriptions of the attractions any sense of enthusiasm. Normally when I read a guidebook, I get the sense that sites are over-hyped, but this book almost made me want to skip the city altogether.
I have found Frommers on-line a good source of info and reviews but won't be buying another of their guidebooks in the future.
- Just got back from a weekend drive to Vienna. There is a ton of usefull info in this book. I wish there was a fold out map covering all of Vienna though. (Our hotel gave us one for free). I can't speak for the Hotel recomendations but the restaurant picks were solid. For like 16 Euro you can get a 72hr public transit pass. This pass also gets you museum discounts and freebies at seletcted restaurants.
- We have a shelf of Frommer guides, US cities, Canada, Mexico, Europe & Asia. This was the first bomb. I found it totally useless and not up to the quality I expect from Frommer. Since it was the only guide to Vienna we had with us I feel my vacation was negatively impacted by it. After this experience I will not automatically purchase the Frommer.

1 comments about Pocket Berlin, 1st Edition: What to See and Do If You Can't Stay Long (Fodor's Pocket Guides).
- The only disappointment was the section on the New National Gallery that stated it had impressionist works. It did not-and the employees said it never did.
