Italy for Dummies, Second Edition

Rating:
Summary: not fancy but packed full of information
Review: I am not a big fan of dummies books but I am acting as my own travel agent for our families 2nd trip to Italy. I was in the middle of planning and lost this book so I am reordering. This book is so full of useful information on how to save money, where to eat, museum information. I pack very light but this is the one book we are planning on hauling with us.

Summary: Never leave home without it!!!
Review: I am so happy that I had this book with me when I went abroad. My parents had been given a different tour book, but it was retired during the trip. Italy for Dummies was so simple to use. The maps were accurate and the hotel information priceless. Even if you've been before, this book is a godsend in a pinch. It helped me make great choices during a hectic time in Italy-"Holy Week" A must for any traveller.

Summary: Out of date and miss informatin
Review: The book needs to be updated. It has a lot of miss information on costs and only provides phone numbers, no email address, for contact information. Good for the basics but Fodors, Fommers and Rich Steves' Venice are better.
