Reviews: Italy

While we recommend and support good book shops as the obvious place to buy a Blue Guide, we also provide functionality from these pages to order copies for immediate delivery from Amazon.  One of the advantages of this for us is that we can see the excellent rankings and feedback from readers that our titles receive, in itself rewarding for our authors, editors and production team, who put an enormous amount of work into publishing “the best-researched, best presented guide books in the English language”. Here are some recent comments.

In depth explanation of art, architecture and history. Not afraid to be sophisticated. Well above the level of more popular guide books.

Just what is needed to figure out in depth what you want to see, wish I had this the first trip. Some people commented the kindle edition maps have an overprint which they do but I found that not an issue to read the plans etc, that was a worry of mine but it is a non issue.

Bought for a short visit to Ferrara. It is a very handy size but much more informative than any English language guide I could find in the usual London shops. In the tradition of Blue Guides, it is well writen and informative with a strong emphasis on art and architecture. I like the lack of illustrations which only add to the weight, break up the text, and serve no useful purpose. I intend to use it to visit and re-visit other towns in Emilia Romagna. The maps are useful for arriving by train, then getting around on foot and cycle (the best way of seeing all the towns in this flat region).
