Looks like this book is out of print and no longer being updated with new editions, which is a shame. I picked up a 2001 copy of this guide at a used bookstore before heading to Europe in 2005 and found it to be a good suppliment to my other guidebooks. The format is not always user-friendly which is why I suggest it as a suppliment, but it included a lot of hidden gems that I wouldn't have had the pleasure of visiting had I not found them in this book. (Examples: a hole-in-the-wall antique and junk shop in Prague, full of handmade trinkets, signs from pubs, communist propoganda pins, old records and original artwork; and the Sir Lancelot restaraunt in Budapest- dinner is served in an elaborately decorated medieval-style meal hall complete with a dinner performance that includes a fire eater, belly dancers, sword fighters, and people jumping around on the tables.) Yay!
