Customer Reviews

Written from a British point-of-view.
If you live in the USA, this is a fine book to get you pointed in the right direction. However the book is really written for British or Irish persons. Most of the information is dependant on your being a citizen of an EU nation.

Complete information and just what I needed 5 years ago
I like the information that is presented in this book: history, culture, jobs, relocation, business...etc. It is well presented and organized. Although the author is speaking to his British folks, it can be used for Americans just fine. The only drawback is that it is 5 years old, so I hope it is still relevant today.
