I'm familiar with the Xenophobe's guides, LOL. An ex-girlfriend of mine was Swiss and bought me the Swiss book. Their love of chocolate, gold, and teethpicking after meals was accurately depicted in the book. Have to pick up the German one now, thanks....:)

I've got the one for the Americans, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, Scots, English, Welsh and French. The one about the French is the harshest, LOL! I love maps at the beginning, that show that country's view of the world, especially the one for the English. England is clearly labeled, with its "North" and "South", Scotland and Ireland aren't even on the map, and mainland Europe's coastlines are labeled "Foreigners".

But the German one is the funniest, I think.

OMG, I think I'm Swiss and haven't known it all these years!
