This review is of the latest revision of this book published in 2011. It is bang up to date, for example, in Estonia all prices are shown in Euros which reflects Estonia adopting the Euro shortly before publication.

This guide up to this year was titled [[ASIN:1843539225 The Rough Guide to The Baltic States]], which of course was highly offensive and ignorant to the people who live in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Calling these countries Baltic States is pretty much the only time, these extremely friendly people will start to get a bit narky, and understandably so when it refers to their previous terrifying years of being occupied by the Soviets and the torture, genocide and misery associated with that.
