Don't listen to the guy who gave this excellent, compact and light weight manual one star. This guide is dated 2011, so perhaps the naysayer was referring to a prior edition. In any case, this Swiss guide doesn't in any way resemble the depracating remarks made about it. Hopefully this "traveller" will be remaining at home and not spreading negative energy about extremely helpful travel guides that others of us have bought at fair expense, in order to help plan a once in a lifetime vacation.
This is a superb guide to Switzerland, with much general and introductory information so you know something about the country before you go there. It even has a section on Nature. How many guides can claim that? The guide is updated to the beginning of 2010, but its value lay in the history, geography and culture you learn in reading it. It also has plentiful maps, per region. When I travel I always get local maps anyway, so the outrage over some map inaccuracy is irrelevant for halfway awake travellers, even if true to begin with, which I doubt. It's also extremely well and logically organized, beginning with general information and then going to the regions. There are overall maps of Switz. inside the front and back covers, describing driving tours and principal sites. Then the maps become regional. The driving tours are arranged geographically, not alphabetically, and are clearly shown in both the table of contents and the index at the back of the manual, as per the norm.
