I am in the market for a good guide book to help plan a 3-4 week vacation to
Europe next spring.  I have seen at least 4 or 5 books that seem to fit my
requirements, but most are too overflowing in details to easily determine if
they really fit my needs.  I thought that I would get the consensus of the
net before I invest the in such a book.

My requirements for such a book are (in priority of importance):

        o Must be up to date and accurate (i.e. you can rely on the just
          about everything it tell you).

        o Must cover all major European countires.

        o Must serve as good guide to cheaper hotels, inns, places to eat,
          best ways to travel between countries, etc.

        o Should serve as guide to customs, cautions, 'must know' things,
          etc. for each country that it covers.

        o Should provide general touring information for countries that it
          covers.

Got a suggestion?  Please post or sent me mail.  Thanks.
