GERMANY
Lonely Planet Germany (Travel Guide): this is a guide that does not need any presentation, but sometimes I found some disappointing Lonely Planet travel guide. This is a guide that does not disappoint you: it is comprehensive and essential to show you the best and essentials spots in Germany.
FRANCE
Michelin Green Guide Alsace Lorraine Champagne: great guide if you want to visit the Central- Eastern France, I bought it to visit Alsace and I could keep it for the next trip to Champagne area. Definitely recommended.
A great and complete travel guide that will help you in traveling this wonderful area. Personally I found it very useful in order to visit the main attractions, but if I wanted to visit also the off the beaten path places or hidden gems I could find what I need.
It was the first National Geographic Traveler Guide I have ever bought and it rocks!
Absolutely recommended. You can get in your own language.
SLOVENIA
DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Slovenia
:A good and essential travel guide with some good insights and tips if you want to travel along Slovenia. It points out off the beaten path plances and things to see and has good city/towns maps.
So for a traveler that loves the off the beaten tracks, this is a great guide. I also recommend the Merian guide, if you speak Italian. However, if you want the DK Eyewitness Travel guide in your own language.
CZECH REPUBLIC AND SLOVAKIA
DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Prague - probably the best Prague travel guide
available, following the rating on Amazon. Enjoy it! :-)
Rick Steves Prague and Czech Republic: ideal if you do not want to limit your trip to Prague but also explore Czech Republic. Also available in Kindle Edition.

This is absolutely recommended if you are planning a road trip in the U.S: 99 road trips are shown and illustrated with some interesting tips and ideas.
It is a good travel guide that helps you during your trip itinerary. I used it and followed the "Best of the Eastern Coast" itinerary, designed from Boston to Miami. My advice is that if you think about stopping in a particular city for more days and need more tips, the previous guide can help more than this one.
