Can't afford to ignore it!

Exceptionally detailed, very easy to follow, doesn't leave much to be desired as far as guide books go. One thing that would have made it better is a Stockholm underground map.

good book, but like the Berlitz Sweden guide better!

I am planning a trip to Sweden this Summer and bought 2 books on sweden. (the only 2) This book is good but I like the berlitz Sweden book better. It had more details. I suggest that you get both of the books.
