As always the eyewitness travelguides are superb. This Germany travelguide meets the expectations i have placed into the exewitness series and is very up-to-date.
I love the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides for several reasons: color photos, background/history, maps/drawings of destinations, color coded sections, front and back flaps can be used as page markers (plus that's where they put the symbols for the descriptions).
My only dislikes are the weight (they can be hefty, use Rick Steve's advice on either tearing out what you need or, my preference, copy the pages you'll be using instead of lugging a heavy guide with you) and the author assumes we've all got loads of cash. I too, want out of the way places to stay and eat.
Before our family trip for 10 days throughout Germany, I purchased a few different travel guides. After having each of them in hand before leaving home, we didn't even put this one in our luggage. I reccommend Daytrips Germany, 6th Edition 1st and then Rick Steves' Germany and Austria 2006. Those 2 books were great for finding tourist sites, great restaurants and hotels that could accomodate 2 adults and 2 kids (most hotels don't have rooms with 2 beds!)
