As good as the information is, the photography is my favourite thing about this book. It's packed full of tons of great photographs of all the places Bultman mentions. I'll often take this book down just to flip through it and admire the pictures. Almost everything is in colour, too; an added bonus.
The information in my copy is probably outdated by now, but I know it's gone through at least a couple more editions over the past ten years. Those should provide more current information on restaurants and the like, though I imagine the historical stuff is still much the same. ( )
