Travel Books
Rick Steves' Florence and Tuscany 2007
by
Rick Steves
Worth its weight in gold. Back door secrets for gaining museum access without the crowds, paid off the first day. The resturant recommendations were a bit much for us, so we mostly followed local advice.
Rick Steves' French Phrase Book and Dictionary
by
Rick Steves
French for the American abroad. For everything but a good meal, it was a great benefit. If you want to get a good meal in a resturant, go with some one who can read the menu or be prepared to make friends with your table mates. :-)
Rick Steves' Italian Phrase Book and Dictionary
by
Rick Steves
We got the most use out this phrase book. People we talked with got good use, too. It seemed to be more well-known in Italy, than the French version. Pulling it out caused a more patient conversation, as people were willing to help us with the language.
Rick Steves' Paris 2007
by
Rick Steves
If you have time to waste, dont buy this book. Paris would not have been so memorable without the information in this book, from where to stay, what to see and when, tips for avoiding crowds, delays, etc. Eating guide is not for the gourmet. :-)
Rick Steves' Rome 2007
by
Rick Steves
Rome on a budget. Rick gets you to all the highlights with a minimum of hassles. The hotel recommendations worked well for us. Caution: following the book entails lots of walking..~5-7 miles daily on concrete.
Rick Steves' Spanish Phrase Book and Dictionary
by
Rick Steves
Well-worn, well-used, well-worth it. A week in Barcelona. This and a bus/subway map are all you need. We never found it lacking. As the slogan says, dont leave home without it.
Rick Steves' Venice 2007
by
Rick Steves
Venice: The sinking 400 year old Disneyland. The book was great. The line that says pay for the best map, was the best advice. We cheaped out and spent so much time lost, that riding the boats was most of our sight-seeing. Hotels:there are no rooftop views
