Rick Steves' Germany, Austria, and Switzerland 2003	Rick Steves lives up to his normally high standards with this compact, easy to use guide book. Steves provides up to date historical information about the major sites in these three countries. Steves lists provides detailed information about all of the "Don't Miss" cites as well as scenic, attractive, lesser known cities that you will be glad you visited. Steves also provides a list of good, budget accommodations and highly recommended restaurants. Lastly Steves provides helpful hints as to how long you should stay in a city, what order to see the cities in and other useful information for travelers. I like Steves' guide books not only for their helpfulness and detailed information, but also for the fact that they are so compact they are easy to carry around.
Michelin Green Guide: Germany	The Green Guide provides historical information about Germany. Furthermore, it provides historical information for most German cities worth seeing as well as an accurate rating system of how worth while seeing the city is. The Green guide provides a map of where the cities are in relation to each other. I find this useful to finding scenic, lesser known towns near larger tourist Meccas. The Green Guide Also provides walk through tours of the greater known attractions.
Michelin Green Guide: Berlin	The Berlin Green Guide provided detailed historical information about attractions in Berlin and the surrounding area. Useful if you plan to explore the Berlin area in detail.
The Lonely Planet: Germany	This mega guide provides excellent information on Germany. This book covers everything you ever wanted to know about Greece and more. It provides History of Germany, accommodations, visas, transportation information, and information the well informed traveler needs to know about every city and hamlet. Its best to read ahead of time and photo copy the parts you need.
The Lonely Planet: Bavaria	When most people think of Germany, they think of the region known of Bavaria. This book covers this region in detail for the avid castle addict.
The Rough Guide: Germany	The rough guide provides a comprehensive history and cultural view of Germany. It provides useful information of most cities and bergs. Also provides a very comprehensive listing of places to stay including a detailed price guide. The only draw back is its size. Its best to copy the pages of where you plan to be and leave the rest at home.
Other Guide Books These guide books seem popular but I have never read them so I can not give any feedback on them.
Let's Go Europe	Many people find Let's Go to be a bit large and confusing. However, it is written by students and it sells thousands of copies so I guess some people like it.
Eyewitness Germany	People like it for detailed pictures.
Eyewitness Travel Guide to Munich & the Bavarian Alps	Again great pictures and maps to let you pick out what you want to see.
Fodor's Germany	This is a popular series but I have no knowledge of it.
Fodor's German Phrase Book	Very useful for traveling in Germany.
Adventure in the Alps	Detailed book about travel in the alps.
