Covers a wide area hence information on specific countries is limited.

Really useful and covers a wide area.
I bought the book specifically for information and use prior to moving to Luxembourg.
Unfortunately, because of the wide area of Coverage, the information provided on Luxembourg whilst useful, was someone limited requiring the purchase of a further guidebook.
