Introduction by
Venice with passion, The Guardian; The world's best guide book, William Boyd in the Spectator; Essential on any Venetian outing, Sunday Telegraph; One of those miraculous books that gets passed by hand, pressed urgently on friends, Sean French in the New Statesman

This magic book ... not only the best guide-book to that city ever written, but the best guide-book to any city ever written. Bernard Levin in The Times
