 Book Log 2021 #36: For the Love of Europe by Rick Steves

Rick Steves has spent a lifetime traveling to Europe and sharing his tips and suggestions for visiting that continent. From his early Europe Through the Back Door travel guide he developed a multifaceted buiness that publishes a wide range of guidebooks, runs tours, and airs travel shows on PBS. 

This book collects 100 of his favorite stories and memories from his time in Europe. Unfortunately, if you watch his TV shows or listen to his radio show -I do both, and have for years - a lot of what's in this book is going to be familiar.  The writing is fine, and the format makes it easy to pick up and put down, it's just that you'll probably get more out of it the less familiar you are with the other corners of the Rick Steves media empire.
