Made in Italy: A Shopper's Guide to Italy's Best Artisanal Traditions from Murano Glass to Ceramics, Jewelry, Leather Goods, and More, 2nd Edition

I've been to Italy several times and thought I would try using some "insider' tips to shop on my latest voyage.This book is not it. We were sent on a fool's errand in Venice to a leather store that in no way shape or form should be recommended. I assume the store she tells us about it closed. There is very little information in this book that you cannot find by reading any regular guidebook for the major cities mentioned and doing some online research. The leather school in Florence for example, is famous.

I bought this for my family as everyone has gotten older and there is a greater interest in shopping and seeing things made. It is not our first trip to Italy and when we travel by car, it makes many of the towns you wander in and outof far more interesting

Superbly written. Helped orient me to the specialties and best buys in each region, as this was my first visit. Time is precious, especially when traveling or vacationing and with this book you can make the best use of your time. The author really did her homework.

Did not meet our needs.... Wanted a book that talked about were to buy what

SO-SO

Delivered as promised. Very informative and useful. Well written

Just waiting for my trip to Italy. Used the French one this summer and worked great to find great buys.

This book has been a great help while living in Italy. I am glad the new edition has been released while I am discovering all parts of Italy. I thank the author for her insightfulness in realizing that there needed to be a book like this written. I was introduced to the older version from a friend living in Italy, and when she moved she recommended it to me. I recommend it to anyone who is traveling or living in Italy.

i loved it
