Light on depth
This book is mostly a picture book (and the pictures aren't that great) with little information. Having spent time in all of these towns, the pictures do not do justice.

Family bias aside, having since travelled to the towns, he captures Sienna as if you were there. Enjoy it as we do...

While the information in this book is very interesting, we had hoped for a few more pictures of the Tuscan countryside.

The book is in good condition, and provides the information I need. It came very quickly. BUT -- it was supposed to be a paperback book and it is hardback. I wanted paperback so that I could take it with me when I travel!
