| 1. |  | The Travel Book: A Journey Through Every Country in the World
from Lonely Planet
Price: $19.80
Customer Review:
I keep this book on my coffee table and find myself getting lost in it at least once a week. Not only was it a huge endeavor for them to make a compilation of every country in the world but the information they include on each page gives you a perfect taste of each country. They include music and... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Rick Steve's is 'right on' with his Italian Phrase Book and Dictionary. I actually used this book on my trip to Italy last summer and I loved it.
I learned to speak Italian by using Behind the Wheel - Italian 1 CDs on my commutes to work and while jogging.
I recommend you buy both... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Avalon Travel Pub
Customer Review:
We went to Italy in 2007 and used this book, it helped us out a lot. Knowing when things like museums and other sites would be open and when not is a big help. The night time walk through Rome that appears in this book was one of the highlights of our trip, it was absolutely beautiful.

| 5. |  | Rick Steves' Europe Through the Back Door 2000

Customer Review:
This is the essential tour guide for traveling in Europe. Rick Steves' approach is to meld into the local cultures and really get to know the different cultures.

from Avalon Travel Publishing
Price: $21.95
Customer Review:
We travel off the beaten path and discovered last month in Spain that many less-traveled areas are not even mentioned.

Customer Review:
...but if you really must see all of Europe in one vast, hurried trip, this book is for you. Using the sights-by-day, Eurail-pass-by-night method, this book got me from Sweden to Romania. It was invaluable for getting my bearings as soon as I walked out of a train station in a new country, and gave... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 10. |  | Egypt (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
from DK Travel
Price: $16.50
Customer Review:
Not a bad guide, decent overview of all the sites and also cultural aspects of Egypt. My major complaint is that the maps are terrible. There is only one actual map, and it is only of Cairo (East of the Nile). So if you're staying in Giza (Cairo west of the Nile) you are kind of out of luck.... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
