Is This the Right Book for Me?
Should I get this Snapshot guide in addition to Rick's full-length Scandinavia guidebook?

Snapshot: Stockholm covers the exact same topics as the Stockholm and Stockholm's Archipelago chapters of Rick Steves Scandinavia — the same hotels, same restaurants, same sightseeing information, same everything.
