Weight of Gold

I collected these Knopf series when I was a teenager in the mid 90's. The glossy pages filled with reprints of paintings, maps, and photos helped create a lust for travel. These guidebooks might not be the best weight for carrying around on a trip (they are quite heavy), but are great for planning a trip at home.

Worth it's weight in gold

While living in Florence, Italy, I used this little book on a daily basis. It is a beautiful book and a wealth of priceless information: from scenic walks along the Arno, places of cultural value, stories behind some of the world's most incredible collections of art, churches, markets, wines and trattorias, transportation routes and day trips into the Tuscan hills ... the list is endless. This book is worth its weight in gold.
