Does anyone have any advise on what guide book to use? I have looked at some and know which I don't want but can not decide which one I DO want.

It all depends on where you are going. If you are planning to hit a bunch of countries, I would go with Lonely Planet Western Europe. It covers a lot of places, with accommodation, sights etc. It had better maps than Let's Go and more up to date information.

If you are only planning to visit one or two cities or countries, I would still go with Lonely Planet, only I would buy the city or country guide for more detailed information.

Examples;

Lonely Planet Italy

Lonely Planet London

I also like the Rough Guides-the Europe guide was just published new for 2002.

This link is for the Europe guide but if you scroll down a bit on the page, you will see you can get the Rough Guide for Europe 2002 and the First-Time Europe: A Rough Guide Special for $27.82, which is a good deal.

Stay away from Frommers, Fodors etc. They are geared toward an older crowd with extra cash to burn.
