Rick Steves books are as close to perfect as a guidebook can get get. Always practical, accurate, great maps and waking tours, and good hotels in central historic locations. I've used them for yeras. It's all I need for my Mediterranean cruise. Now I have to decide if I want the paperback or for my Sony Reader. I guess the book, so I can tear out the sections I need and carry them in a pocket. If I could only choose one guidebook, it would always be Rick's.
