Comment: When I purchased this book I wanted to use it for my travels in Italy. I did not know at the time that it would take a month to get here. Royal Mail?

Summary: used, missing map 2010-08-23
Comment: this is a great book but having been purchased used the edition did not include a map but was advertised as "with Map." I might not even make the trip. Not that the map is missing but that the book is so well written that I feel as if I've been to italy before!

Summary: Perfect travel companion for Italy! 2010-08-08
Comment: This book is wonderful!! It made my trip to Italy run smoothly. I didn't have months to plan the trip - only weeks - so it really guided me on what to do and helped explain obstacles I would run into.
Excellent buy!!

Summary: Incomplete in that it entirely ignores most of Southern Italy 2010-08-08
Comment: We found this title misleading since the book does not venture below Amalfi. Rick has mentioned on his website that he loves Southern Italy, and that Italy is his favorite country period, then largely ignores it in his "Italy" book. Disappointing.

Summary: Rick Steve is AWESOME 2010-08-02
Comment: Ever since I used Rick Steve's book for my Germany trip last summer I was completely hooked! The book is so user friendly and he tells you what you truly need to see in the country that you picked for the amount of time that you will be there.
