Dos and Don'ts in Switzerland: The Traveler's Guide to Culture

Rating:
Summary: Don't buy this book (Dos and Don'ts in Switzerland)
Review: The content of this "book" is printed on one side of 4.5 pages. The remainder of the nine pages include the title page, a general blurb about the group that put it together, and some information lifted from Edward Hall. Even though it is a stretch to label this scanty pamplet as a "book", we had hoped that the concentrated content would be useful or insightful. No on both counts.

Virtually all of the pointers are both common-sensical and apply across most if not all Western cultures. We actually read this book in less than ten minutes while traveling in Switzerland. It includes such gems as don't smoke at dinner and keep your elbows off the table -- useful advice for someone who as never experienced any version of Western culture.
