From the Back Cover
The Austrian needs lots of persuading to have his traditions tampered with in the name of modernization and efficiency.

Xenophobia is an irrational fear of foreigners, probably justified, always understandable.
Xenophobe's Guides - an irreverent look at the beliefs and foibles of nations, almost guaranteed to cure Xenophobia
