The best travel guide to Europe I have seen!

When I went looking for a guide book for my European vacation I had so many choices I didn't know where to begin. So, I looked at the authors. Did I want some stuffy Ivy Leage brats telling me how to have fun? Or fun loving hippies from Berkeley. :,) The Berkeley guides have the most accurate information I have seen, laid out in a form that makes sense. They have the inside scoop on all the local haunts and pubs. I showed my guide to several friends I made there, and all of them were impressed by the little, out of the way places that were listed. Some they didn't know about. Alas, I lost my guide in Berlin and had to find my own way home. My only criticism: the lack of population sizes for cities. Knowing a cities' population gives is the best indication as to what you will find.
