A superb guidebook in a sturdy plastic bindingMay 19, 1997 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Probably the most comprehensive and elegant guide to the city of Venice, with hundreds of photographs and color illustrations to augment the highly readable text (translated from the French by Anthony Roberts). The emphasis is on history, architecture, and art, but you'll also find a large section of practical advice and maps. The durable, flexible plastic cover is another significant plus. If you can afford only one Venice guidebook, this is the one you need. - Durant Imboden, Venice for Visitors, http://govenice.miningco.com
