Summary: Untitled
Review: AAAAAHHH! Make sure you buy separate maps for every city you are planning on going to unless you feel like walking around all day (and I do mean ALL DAY) trying to find some place they recommended. I didn't think the maps were so bad until I was actually there and could not find anything! Notice that nearly half of the streets are unlabeled. Otherwise it's pretty good I guess, and certainly had more of a cross section of the countries I was actually interested in visiting. Sometimes though I think they are trying to make people scared for some reason. Just for the record, I never saw anybody speeding by on motorcycles grabbing people's purses in Italy. And some places they act like are all great and really aren't much to look at (like, ahem, Naples).

Summary: Where do you want to go in Med Europe? Start here!
Review: The book is excellent if you want to go to Med Europe but have trouble deciding exactly where, although you need to buy the specific book for a country if you intend to spend more than two weeks in that country. It helped narrow my choice for the countries I was considering . It's also extremely useful if you cannot afford to buy all the books for the countries you'll be visisting in Med Europe. The sections on Morocco and Tunisia are an added bonus! It's over a year old but the information is still up-do-date.I've already ordered the Eastern Europe edition for my next holiday!

Summary: Getting Slimmer Every Edition
Review: The Mediterranean Europe Guidebook has been getting slimmer every edition for certain countries in the Balkans. And, since the companion volume, the Mediterranean Phrasebook, is no longer available, there is almost utility in buying the new editions for going to the Balkans. The worse coverage is for Macedonia. Nor has what information they have been substantially updated. The maps are nearly useless. Thankfully, maps are easily purchased in the countries.
