1 The best guide on Munich
If you're planning on spending just a few days in Munich, then this compact little guide will be indispensible in locating the famous beerhalls and tourist sights. The maps are more than adequate and the walking descriptions to each locale are precise and accurate. There is also corresponding material on how to use the U-Bahn in the city and which station to take for each particular site. There is a separate chapter on the beerhalls of the city with a brief ranking system for the nosiest places, the friendliest, the cheapest beer, etc.

If you're planning a lengthy sojourn in Munich or if you already know the city well, then this book would not be as helpful. It is basically intended for the casual tourist and the information on the intriguing environs of Munich, including Bogenhausen, Haidhausen and areas of Schwabing, is not detailed. Many of the best sites are neglected because most tourists don't want to bother or simply don't have the time to stick around. The chapters on Berchtesgaden and Garmisch are excellent, however. So this is a thrifty guide you can stick in your pocket and consult when you need to find a restaurant, beer haunt or hotel. In short, if you're a first timer to Munich, enjoy the greatest city in Europe and be sure to tuck away this guide.

2 As a resident...
...I can affirm the genuine worth of this book. The maps are convenient, easy to use, and marvelously clear. Furthermore, the organization of the guide is wonderfully helpful in assisting the traveler (or resident, as the case may be) in finding cultural destinations, culinary spots, that may have otherwise been missed.

This guide is, like most all of the Dorling-Kindersley series, geared toward helping the traveler ascertain what things might be of particular sightworthiness. Unlike the Michelin guides, this isn't particularly into the business of rating destinations, and it certainly isn't going to provide the standard domestic AAA guide service of pointing the traveler toward "hot" restaurants. For a diverse, wonderfully cosmopolitan city, this guide provides a marvelous introduction, and though it neglects a few potential interests in outlying regions, does an admirable job of hitting all the highlights, and even including pictures of most.

The material was current as of late spring 2003.

3 Nice book but lacks a info for the young and hip traveler
Great book if you plan to visit Munich and visit every castle and cathedral in the city but where is the information on hip nightclubs, fab restaurants, the hotels to be seen in, etc? Again, it was a great history type book for me and it was VERY well made, slick covers, a few nice maps, great photos, but again, for the young hip traveler who wants info on nightlife, there wasn't any. Hotels and restaurants are merely listed in the back and rated by price, with no photos.

4 The most awesome guide book for Munich / Bavaria
I bought this book to prepare myself for the trip to Germany (and pass through Munich and Bavaria) I'll take in October. This will be my first trip to the area and I'd like to learn as much as possible before I leave home. So far this book has provided me with a lot of info, especially with the abundant number of beautiful, colorful photos. There was a saying that "picture is worth a thousand words" and that's exactly where this book excels compared to other guide books I've read (Lonely Planet, Fodor's, and Rick Steves).

This book is focused on Munich and the surrounding Bavaria so it covers a lot of details. The major sights are featured in the text and accompanied by several photos. The lessser known sights (which are usually not covered by more general guidebooks) have one or two paragraphs and usually a small photo.

IMHO this is the best and most awesome travel guide book. It has a thick glossy cover with colorful glossy pages inside which really feels luxurious in your hands and looks luxurious to your eyes.

I really recommend this book to anyone who's interested in Munich & Bavaria and/or travelling to the area. I also recommend Eyewitness Germany and Eyewitness Berlin.

Once upon a time, when I was training to be a mathematician, a group of

us bright young students taking number theory discovered the names of the

smaller prime numbers.



2:  The Odd Prime --

	It's the only even prime, therefore is odd.  QED.

3:  The True Prime --

	Lewis Carroll: "If I tell you 3 times, it's true."

31: The Arbitrary Prime --

	Determined by unanimous unvote.  We needed an arbitrary prime in

	case the prof asked for one, and so had an election.  91 received

	the most votes (well, it *looks* prime) and 3+4i the next most.

	However, 31 was the only candidate to receive none at all.

41: The Female Prime --

	The polynomial X**2 - X + 41 is

	prime for integer values from 1 to 40.

43: The Male Prime - they form a prime pair.



Since the composite numbers are formed from primes, their qualities

are derived from those primes.  So, for instance, the number 6 is "odd

but true", while the powers of 2 are all extremely odd numbers.





There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom.
