Italy (Eyewitness Travel Guides)
Now we can not wait to go!!. Excellent read, couldn't put it down.

A Book for Foreigners and Italians
Not too heavy, it provides the tourist who travels all over Italy with useful information. It is a complete wide-angle picture of Italy in just one book. The beautiful pictures attract your attention and you become actually curious to see the Italian architectural masterpieces or just a picturesque corner house from life.

Average but not bad

The pictures are nice because it puts a face to the description, but even for a book covering an entire country it felt a little anemic. Overall this book fell a bit short of my expectations.
Even large cities like Roma, Florence, etc. covered only major items, not even a few unique/unusual suggestions.
This book is alright as a decent start and it's certainly visually appealing but I find other books to be more thorough & useful. Forget the pictures and just get a better book (Frommers, Lets Go, Cadogan, & Unofficial Guides are all solid) and add in a little internet research to see what the lesser known areas look like.
