Blue Guides: Complete Cultural Guides -- A 224-page, pocket-sized distillation, update and complete rewrite of the full 624-page Blue Guide Rome (2006), it features the erudition and detailed knowledge that have made Blue Guides the choice of discerning travellers everywhere. In full colour, with a focus on covering key sites in sufficient depth, its concentration on Rome's art, history and architecture is supplemented by Blue Guides' shortlist recommendations of hotels and restaurants. Illustrations to inform rather than to decorate: maps, diagrams, floor plans, architectural details and photographs. -- "Often plagiarised by other guide writers, Blue Guides have always been a gold standard for accuracy and depth" Daily Telegraph. "Guide books in the grand tradition of thoroughness and objectivity" Georgia Review.
