Here's what some of our readers had to say about our Tuscany travel guide: "I have read several travel guides in preparation for my trip. Most are rather utilitarian. This book was head and shoulders above the rest. The author provides opinions on everything from roof-top cafes, world renown architecture, antiques shopping, vineyards and more in an in-depth fashion unlike the "standard bearer " in this category. You feel as if you are sipping an espresso talking about her favorite neighborhood spots. This is in a league of its own. You don't want the same old travel babble---you want a perspective from an outlook you can appreciate." DJM, Amazon reviewer "Delightful! What more could hedonist want? We were part of a group of friends renting a villa and we insulted every day. It never let us down." Hope, Amazon reviewer "Tuscany for the Shameless Hedonist is an alternative guidebook - quirky, opinionated, and full of (mostly) good advice not available (as far as I know) elsewhere. No general lists of sights, restaurants, and hotels; you will still need a conventional guidebook for all that. Arranged by region, this is a collection of particularly recommended places to stay, to eat, to shop, to sightsee, Very helpful in deciding, which winery to visit, where to hear music, how to find regional specialties. Good advice for the rich (not us), but also for those rich in curiosity. Good source for contact information, and the Kindle edition has useful embedded links. I hope the second edition will have an INDEX, which would enhance the usefulness of this guide (especially for Kindle readers)." Robin, Amazon reviewer
