great for cultural appropriateness but needs a proof reader!
This book has insightful and accurate reviews of culture and cultural appropriateness; however if you buy the book don't trust the foreign language words or phrases 100%. In the case of the Czech and Slovak section, most of the words are spelled wrong and in some cases just wrong. I wonder who did the research? They should have consulted with a native speaker before the book went to print.

Best if you plan to visit many countries
Good insight, but each country is only covered to a certain extent. It's a lot of money to spend for just the information in a single country's chapter, but if you are going to tour Europe (vacation or business), then go for this book!

Forget Amex cards, don't leave home without THIS!
This is the type of book which leaves you asking (a) "Why didn't this book exist years ago?", (b) "Why didn't I have the brains to write it?". Had it existed when I, for one, took my first clueless steps in Europe all those neiges d'antan ago, I would have saved myself more verbal and gestural gaffes in a day than Dubya makes in a week. The ugly American/Australian/Englishman would simply cease to exist if this book were compulsory reading in high schools and universities. Congratulations to all those responsible for producing it.
