Venice Art & Architecture
I was given the first copy of this book and was so pleased with it I have purchased 2 since then for presents for people about to make their first visit to Venice. It is excellent in every way, it encompases all the important aspects of the buildings of Venice etc., it is small and compact and easy to carry around and the price is fantastic, such value for money.
