Summary: Content may be good, but navigation needs work!
Comment: One of the biggest advantages of the Kindle for traverlers is being able to reduce the number of tour books required! Unfortunately for this book it's not yet really ready for Kindle. The table of contents doesn't permit navigation to that chapter. Very difficult to quickly flip to the section required. While the information may be good, navigation issues limit me giving it more than 2 stars.

Summary: Only wish I'd had more time
Comment: Yeah, doesn't everyone? There is so much in this book outside of Florence and I really wanted to make the trek into the Tuscan hills around the city, especially to Pisa and Siena. But alas, I was trapped in Florence...and what a prison it was! Everyone should find themselves thus abused at some point in their life, I believe.
This DK guide made the punishment a lot easier to endure, saving me time and headache by thoroughly breaking down specific areas of the city in detailed maps. From Palazzo and Ponte Vecchio, to the Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (il Duomo), and on to Brancacci Chapel and Santa Croce and everything in between. This guide gave me detailed information on each of the sites and helped enrich the experience. The exploded diagrams cover the finer points, giving the reader recognizable visual elements to look for along the way. This is so much better than words alone.
Overall, I highly recommend this book...and the city itself. Florence is a place like no other!
