Great photographs!

Much Improved Guide/Picture Book

This Jubilee Edition of Art and History of Rome is much expanded and improved over the last one I bought eight years ago. There are many more pictures, although perforce smaller, and it's well organized by districts of the city as well as the major section devoted to the beautifully spiffed up religious sites. They've taken a page from Dorling Kindersley's guides by adding street-by-street views with little buildings drawn in. Also added are detailed sidebars of relevant historical information to put the sights in context. Overall, a very handsome and worthwhile book for prospective or recent visitors to Rome.
