A great photographic memento of everyday sights of Venice
Having returned from a visit to Venice earlier this year, this book was just right as a photographic memento, I absolutely love it and pick it up time and time again. The book is divided into the six areas of Venice and gives snippets of history about each one and shows the everyday sights you see when walking or floating around Venice. The layout of the book is very pleasing, one full page photograph with the opposite page divided into a smaller photograph and two paragraphs of description. Buy it, you won't be disappointed.

Un bien joli livre
De très belles photos, à un prix très raisonnable. Un livre à laisser traîner pour combattre un petit coup de blues, se rappeler un voyage à couper le souffle,... On n'aurait pas forcément choisi tel angle de prise de vue ou telle partie de tel palazzo; mais chaque photo nous renvoie à notre propre Venise avec plaisir.

Pictures of all the key places and many more
The book lets you see the parts of Venice the normal tourist misses. It shows where the residents live, work, and worship. You can see the areas of the city that are beyond the Grand Canal and St. Mark's Square which makes Venice a unique city -- and where you will want to visit.

which is really great. I decided to search for the Venice edition ...
Visited Europe a few years back and bought the Paris edition of this book, which is really great. I decided to search for the Venice edition and found it here. Now I I have both for my coffee table! I feel like I'm back in Venice all over again!
