This is well written, like most most Lonely Planet country guides. I read through the pertinent sections for countries I was planning to visit, and while there were suggestions for each major city, there was little depth. Maps are also on the skimpy side. "Central Europe" may not be representative of the several regional Europe guides Lonely Planet has recently released, but its coverage is very brief for a number of countries. For example, "Central Europe" has fewer pages devoted to the entire CZ Republic than the CZ Republic guide has devoted to Prague alone.
So this guide may serve you well if you are on a driving or backpacking vacation without having done a lot of background research; you could pull it out to see the one-paragraph-highlights of the major city you are approaching.
But if you have a more specific itinerary, I'd instead suggest getting the books to match specific cities and maybe a road atlas if you are driving.

I found the book to be too much of a repeat. It had incorrect information (the Munich card was discontinued the very first of the year and announced last year), Munich internet cafe at trainstation is closed, another one is now 24x7 - all for over a year.
Train connection information is limited at best.
Does not give the NAMES of the bus-tram-subway stops in any city.
Disability acess information is very lacking in this book and series. I wonder does LP have a writer with a movement disability?
I am usually a fan of lonely planet books but this one felt like a money and space waster.

This book is really good if you don't want to buy individual books for each country you are visiting.
It has information on travel to and from each country, sights to see, accommodation, food and other interesting cultural references.
It has been a great planning tool for my upcoming trip.
