Baedeker's Austria - Not What It Used To Be

I just purchased the latest edition of this book and am comparing it to one I have from 1984. I would rate the 1984 edition as a 5 star. This newest one is lacking. The size format has changed, but this is of no consequence to the content. What's missing from the newer edition are sections of the "Practical Information" section. The older edition had lists of the Castles, Schlosshotels, Country Houses, Monasteries and Religious House; and these antiquities are some of the main attractions of this beautiful country. The newer edition contains none of these, and the space has been taken with lists of Information Offices, Water Sports and Winter Sports Centres, etc. It certainly appears - disappointingly - that the focus of this used to be great guide has changed. Good, it is; but no longer great. 4 stars
