Rome (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)

Amazon.com Review

Too bad the essence of Rome can’t be bottled and exported to a corner store near you. If it could, you could pick up a weekend’s worth of Rome along with your pint of milk and Snickers bar, and you’d probably never get to repainting the stairs, doing the laundry, or watching that new video release. Instead you’d be gawking at St. Peter’s, ogling the Temple of Vesta, devouring saltimbocca in a trattoria, and sipping Sangiovese at a wine bar. You might not even get to the Snickers bar. Okay, DK never said they’re trying to bottle Rome. But they do a stand-up job of imbuing their guidebook with the spirit, attitude, and élan of Rome. They don’t just provide information about where to stay and what to do when you’re there (though they do, in fact, provide all those necessary details), they go beyond the pragmatic and mundane to revel in Rome’s glory. They stimulate the appetite for a Roman holiday. The gorgeous pictures and engaging text draw you in. They inspire you to read and dream, set your travel date, and visit Rome for real. –Stephanie Gold

Italy (DK Eyewitness Travel Guide)

Amazon.com Review

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more comprehensive, engrossing and just plain fun-to-read guidebook than the Eyewitness Travel Guide: Italy. Spilling over with all sorts of useful information for the traveler, you’ll find three-dimensional drawings, floor plans, and detailed neighborhood maps, as well as timelines, charts, and even popular Rome bus routes. Broken into several parts–”Introducing Italy,” “Region by Region” (with northern, central, and southern chapters as well as impressive sections covering Rome and Florence), “Traveler’s Needs,” and “Survival Guide”–the guide provides the reader with a complete picture of the country. Readers will especially love the hundreds of color photos of everything from Rome’s famous piazzas, Navona and di Spagna, to the red-roofed villages of Tuscany to room-by-room descriptions of the Uffizi Gallery and the Vatican museums (where you’ll find the newly restored Sistine Chapel). There are also listings for the best pasta restaurants, wine bars, chic shopping streets, and some of the world’s most romantic hotels. –Jill Fergus

From School Library Journal

YA?Today’s students want pictures and more pictures, and they will not be disappointed with this series entry that provides similar coverage to standard travel guides. However, while other books describe a site or explain how to get there, Italy gives this information through maps, pictures, photographs, and cut-away drawings. Arranged by regions, it includes cities, villages, churches, food, museums, markets, and more. Many maps are illustrated so that armchair sightseers will know exactly what they would see on a visit. While visiting hours of tourist spots are listed, the costs, which are more likely to change, are not. All of the hotel and restaurant information is given in the back with prices shown in broad categories. Other material that will interest students planning a trip includes pictures of all the currency and directions for and pictures of telephone and rail-ticket machines.?Claudia Moore, W. T.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more comprehensive, engrossing, and just plain fun-to-read guidebook than the Eyewitness Travel Guide: France. Spilling over with all sorts of useful information for the traveler, you’ll find three-dimensional drawings, floor plans, and detailed neighborhood maps, as well as timelines, charts, even Metro stations. Broken into four sections–”Introducing France,” “Region by Region” (covering Paris quite impressively, as well as the Loire Valley, Provence, Brittany, and Normandy), “Traveler’s Needs,” and “Survival Guide”–the guide paints a complete picture of the country. Readers will especially appreciate the hundreds of color photos of everything from ski towns in the Alps to the beaches of St. Tropez to vineyards of the Rhone Valley. You’ll also find street-by-street illustrated city walks (Paris’s Champs-Élysées and St. Germain-des-Pres are two good ones), not to mention the best brasseries, bistros, and boulangeries. –Jill Fergus
