A tourist souvenir book that makes a reasonable job out of capturing picturesque views of Austria, though the captions are a little florid and I have spotted the odd minor inaccuracy. The ISBN suggests that the book dates from 1993 though some of the photographs can be dated much earlier, based on visual evidence. Internal organisation seems a little haphazard. Worth acquiring as long as it doesn't put you over your luggage weight allowance on the flight home (says the man who once got away with hold baggage within 250 grams of the weight allowance through stuffing his overcoat pockets with books on his way home from Vienna!), or if you see it on the second-hand market anywhere and have a particular love for Austria.
