I'm not German so I can't say how accurate it is, but the German version of
the Germany Sourcebook is a really good book IMHO. It's not as slick-looking
as FASA's products, but it puts things the way FASA doesn't seem to dare
(probably because they're an American corp), and gives nice background
material on Germany. Maybe because it was written by Germans for the German
market, and then got translated into English...

About the London Sorcebook, I once went adventuring in Newcastle (both RL
and SR) and I believe the GM (Phill Steele, for those who remember him from
this list and the GM assistant bit on Paolo's page) pretty much made up his
own version of the Tyne Sprawl instead of using the one in the London
Sourcebook.
