Summary: Bavaria and the Austrian Tyrol
Comment: This book is attractively put together and contains excellent pictures. The maps are somewhat confusing to use; an inset master map keyed to the individual maps would be very helpful as an overview. The coverage is selective and omits many parts of this region. My biggest criticism of this book is incorrect information. For example, the phone number listed for Auto Europe for car rentals on p. 27 is a phone sex line and the email addresses for Austrian tourism information on page 21 are incorrect.

The overall organization of the book is very good. In the beginning there is a broad overview of the region's with sections on: Travel Facts, Driver's Guide, Getting to the regions, and a cultural and historical overview. Then, starting with Munich and ending with the Grossglockner Road and Hohe Tauern National Park the region's are covered, although selectively, in detail with a detailed map for each coverage. Each subregion is evaluated on a five-level scale for nature, scenery, walking, architecture, children, wildlife, food and drink, and history. The reader is advised to have another detailed map of the region handy when using the maps in this book.

Glaringly out of place are two full page ads that detract from the books appearance.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this book to any potential visitor to this fascinating part of Europe. The photographs are breathtaking and the book is very informative and educational.
