Umbria & Marche: Full color regional travel guide to Umbria & Marche (Footprint Italia Umbria & Marche)

I completely agree with the review by DecoDogs!

I was looking for some detailed information about the region of my ancestors, since my wife and I will be taking my mother back to Italy (more specifically, Le Marche) for a long-overdue vacation. (She hasn't been back there since 1966.) When I got this book, I kept turning pages and almost got to the end of the book before I hit the Marche section. Based on the title of this book, I was thinking "You've GOT to be kidding!!!"

NOTE TO THE PUBLISHER: Please find a knowledgeable author who truly appreciates Le Marche, and produce a book specifically about that region!!! (Write a separate book about Umbria.)

As much as I appreciated learning about Umbria, this book should be taken off the market before more people get burned!!!! I would give this book 1/2 a star if I could.

This is a gorgeous regional guide. It contains the information necessary for travel in the area, as well as having spectacular illustrations. The rare guidebook that I will carry with me as I travel, as well as keep when I come home.

I was looking for more detail regarding what to see, and what to avoid in more casual "been there done that" terms. It's just the basic factual records that I can find on the internet. Useful because I can carry it with me and refer to it should I need to, but nothing special-
