Review:

A Eurailpass in the hand is better than anything in the bush; it's a key to Europe, a fare-thee-well to transportation hassles, a ticket to spontaneous travel and the pleasures of the rail. For each of 17 countries, the authors provide particulars on banks, currency, telephone codes, and regional rail systems and passes. But the real heart of the guide lies in the base city planning. Take Finland. They tell all you need to arrive in Helsinki by air, train, or ship, how to get around the city, what day excursions are worthwhile and why (for Helsinki, that's Hanko, Lahti, Tampere, and Turku), and train schedules for each. Train connections are provided between base cities and countries, as well. It's a handy way to organize your trip, and their useful guide makes it work.

From the Back Cover:

There is no better way to see Europe than by train, and there is no better guide to the European train system than Europe by Eurail. Start in one of twenty-four base cities in seventeen countries and then venture farther afield, exploring each country's special attractions and learning about European life and culture. The hassle-free day excursions outlined in this reader-friendly guide have made it the Eurailer's bible for twenty-seven years.
Europe by Eurail is the only book on the market that features: fully updated information on fares, schedules, and pass options; Web sites and useful phone numbers for traveling and for touring; sightseeing, attractions, and special tour information for each base city; personally researched day excursions that take you throughout Europe; practical travel tips on keeping costs down, traveling light, conquering jet lag, exchanging currency, dealing with language differences; sample fifteen-day European itineraries.
