      An excellent 'rough guide', which follows the high standards set by the rest of the series. Content is well-ordered, and there are plenty of maps to help you find your way around. There is enough detail on political and historical background for those who want it, but it's also easy to skip to the 'must see' sights when you can only spend a fleeting visit or a particular town or region. Don't travel without it!
