great text but bring a good map

The only problem: sore dogs at the end of each day!

This review is from: Florence, Siena Pisa Lucca (Paperback)
This book centers around full-days "walks" in each of the cities covered. Great concept, poor execution. While trying to follow the walks in Florence and Siena, I found myself frequently unable to tell where I was supposed to be on the walk. Was it just the jet-lag? I don't think so. Even before I left home to embark on this journey, I read the descriptions of history & so on, and they often left me with a "say what"? A good editor could clean up the problems, I suspect, but apparently the publisher didn't decide to spring for one. The book contains great ideas and suggestions, if you can only find them when you need them, underneath the poor organization.
