This book is indispensible if you are like me - the sort of person who often goes off course into new territory on a wing and a prayer.
It has all the best things to do on a tight budget in Europe, from free museums to detailed reviews on cheap hostels and other things you need.
The book covers all countries in Europe including parts of Russia, Morocco and Turkey. This is both a good thing and a bad thing because first of all, the book is huge and weighs quite a lot. On the other hand it does cover all the major spots in Europe so that you can use it absolutely anywhere. Again though, by trying to cover everything, it is not an expert on anything and if you want to spend more than a few days in any location, you will need to find more detailed information. For example, there might be 10 pages on Berlin, but if you wanted to go to Kaiserslautern or Wroclaw or Porec or Bologna etc, it would be less useful.
For the smaller entries, it gives the basic information that you NEED but not much else. In a way, this is all you need if you are doing a whirlwind tour of Europe without much of a plan. If you know that you are going to need a book for many countries over different seasons/years - this is the book for you. It will give you the overview of a place. If you wanted to go to one specific country for a month or more though, it would be better to buy a guide book specific to that region. Enjoy.
