NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC travel book very similar to travel shows, April 22, 2002
your typical travel guidebook (a little on the heavy side) with the most detail oriented information at your disposal. good for the plane ride over to italy, it's full of information about everything you wanted to know about rome, starting with history and culture. the guidebook is not very practical for pulling out of your sack especially if your burdened with cameras and other heavy travel items. the book is very very very informative and true to national geographic, chock full of beautiful pictures! this guidebook offers a series of walking tours with national geographic as your guide; extremely useful if you have the time to walk and read as you go! while travelling i found it a little difficult to find the maps when i needed them (during those vacation rush periods). this book is useful for reference; with every point of interest explained thoroughly. ”
