I am and avid traveler through Europe and the book has been very useful. It was very convenient to buy this book rather than several language books. The book is small and perfect for storage. I would recommend this book to European travelers!

I will be traveling to western Europe this fall and purchased a few phrasebooks to try to narrow down some general phrases for each country I am to visit. This book is a little harder to navigate than Rick Steve's book (which I also purchased) but it has been helpful to compare the two but I do think I will stick with Steve's book as it has the three languages I need (Italian, French, and German) in a little more detail. This book is still great and includes many more languages I didn't need which also may have been a reason this book suffered in comparison.

After I ordered and received this book, I discovered that it was different from the one that was discussed in reviews that I had read. It turns out that the reviews that I got most of my information from were apparently for a different European phrasebook (or maybe another edition of this one), also by Lonely Planet (I think), which includes several languages not in this one. (For some reason, reviews are applied to both books at the Amazon site.) This book includes Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. It does NOT have Basque, Catalan, Dutch, Irish, Maltese, Welsh, or another language or two that I might have seen mentioned. It is pretty informative, but I believe the other book has more info in it. While I can't help feeling kind of disappointed, I still think this is a pretty neat, pretty handy little book. 15 languages is still impressive. I really appreciate the pronunciation guides. I just wish I had ordered a copy of the other book, like I thought I had. Oh well. Maybe I'll get one later; I'll just have to continue enjoying this one in the meantime. I should have taken a closer look at this book's cover and the product description before I ordered it, so I do have to place most of the blame for my disappointment on myself. (Update: Turns out that the other book is a Mass Market Paperback version, and the only languages that the two books have in common are French, German, Greek, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish.)

Very compact and concise. Contains all of the information one needs whilst visiting these countries. A good price on-line as well, less expensive than purchasing from the book store.

I bought this for a gift for a college graduate student who went backpacking in Europe after graduation and she loved it - said it was a lifesaver!

THIS LITTLE HANDY DANDY BOOK IS GREAT AND FANTASTIC!!! PERFECT GIFT!! IT FIT NICELY IN THE LITTLE GIFT BOX I ALREADY HAD
Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2013
I would recommend this book to a person who will be travelling for a short time in each country (like me!) This book has the perfect amount of information and the best part- it is small and lightweight, making it easy to take away with you.

besides this, this phrasebook had things you don't really need (like how to say the seasons) and didn't have stuff that you really do need (is this the right train/bus/road/direction to __?) they have "do you speak english?" but that's stupid b/c if they do speak english you can ask in english and they'd understand. rather, they should have put sthg like "i (only) speak english." or "i don't speak french/italian/german/etc" but they didn't.
i went to french, italian and german-speaking countries and you don't need a phrasebook there. the people you come into contact with while touring are going to be mostly people in the tourist industry and they'll speak english. it seemed that almost everyone in the german-speaking areas knew english, since it's easy for them to learn.

This book is perfect for our travels through Europe. I didn't want to have to carry around 10 different phrase books. This one has all that is needed to carry on basic conversations.

3.0 out of 5 stars Utile mais limité
Reviewed in France on August 28, 2013
6 langues "testées" sur les 15 et certes, les phrases contenues dans le livre sont utiles mais elles ne correspondent pas tout le temps aux usages les plus courants. Le lexique ne correspond pas a tous les voyageurs.
La phonétique est bien (il faut etre anglophone) et permet de se faire comprendre.

4.0 out of 5 stars Praktischer Reisehelfer
Reviewed in Germany on November 15, 2011
Die Phrasebooks von Lonely Planet sind immer eine tolle Hilfe für Reisen in fremde Länder. Manchmal fällt es zwar schwer, die Lautschrift richtig zu lesen, aber in der Regel sind die gut organisierten Themenabschnitte eine gute Unterstützung. Vor allem das Europe-Phrasebook bietet eine große Auswahl an Sprachen und hat auch jeweils einige Hintergrundinformationen über Entstehung und Verbreitung.
