Lonely Planet Germany
By Andrea Schulte-Peevers (Author), Jeremy Gray (Author), Anthony Haywood (Author), Sarah Johnstone (Author), Daniel Robinson (Author)
It's an enormous place with overwhelming tourist options. Smack in the middle of Europe, Germany's got the Bavarian Alps, windswept North Sea islands, the Black Forest and the castle-dotted Rhine. And there's Berlin , a city where you could easily spend all your vacation and not see a tenth of what it has to offer. Germany has history aplenty, an enormous variety of museums, cosmopolitan sophistication and rural quaintitude, camping, beer gardens, and music of all kinds. In short, Germany is the kind of place where a guidebook makes all the difference

When in Germany, Do as the Germans Do: The Clued-In Guide to German Life, Language, and Culture
By Hyde Flippo
On entering a restaurant, should you find your own way to a table or should you wait to be seated? What is a suitable topic for small-talk with a stranger in Germany? This guide combines an appreciation of Germany's rich heritage with a practical awareness of contemporary customs. Over 100 articles cover a broad range of topics, including: customs, food and drink, language, travel, arts and pop culture, politics, business, media and entertainment, home life, consumer behaviour, religion, history, and education. Multiple-choice questions provide an avenue to the articles for browsing, and there is an index for quick reference. Internet references (to both English and German sites) accompany almost every article, enabling readers to use their knowledge or further their research, whether checking government statistics on housing, taking a virtual tour of a museum, or planning a cross-country tour by train.
