 Rome for Dummies Review August 3, 2008
I checked out several books from my local library before deciding on a book to purchase to use as the travel guide for my upcoming trip to Rome. I read each major travel guide and compared all the books for structure and usability. I preferred Rome for Dummies because it has the same User Friendly set-up of all the "Dummies" books. Tips on local customs, what to see and do in a limited amount of time, how to attend a papal audience, etc. are the kind of tips that made me feel like I was talking to a local Roman instead of reading a book. Did you know that it costs more to sit and have a cup of coffee than to stand and have coffee? Neither did I, but I do now. Unlike other "cumbersome" travel guides, this book fits my description of "if I were going to write the perfect travel guide to fit all my personal wants and needs, this is how I'd do it."

I never received this book. When I did inquire about it(over 30 days later)they told me that it was to be shipped out shortly. I never got the book or the money back. Will never do business with them again.
