I had no idea how big this book is. It was the heaviest item on my after-college backpacking trip to Europe, hands down. But what it lacks in portability, it makes up for in comprehensive, well-written information for the low-budget traveler.
My only complaint: the maps are sometimes hard to read, and local maps will often give you a better, caricatured look at the landscape.
This is a very useful publication with up to date information. Although each area can only be covered in fairly brief detail due to the number of countries and cities involved, it is very useful for someone like myself moving quickly through Europe, wanting the most important information immediately. The only improvement I would wish for would be more detailed and wider-reaching maps.
Covers too much in too little pages - but essentially still a great travel guide for first timers!!
