Capri, Gold Guide

Summary: Review of "Capri Gold Guide"
Review: The Capri Gold Guide is appropriate for those who want to curl up by the fireplace and dream of their upcoming Italian vacation. It includes comprehensive coverage of the major and some minor tourist sites and the geography of the island. The many color photographs are excellent and are the book's best feature. The text is obviously and quaintly translated from Italian to English. Unlike many serious guidebooks, there is very little in the way of restaurant and hotel recommendations or descriptions; just a listing of restaurants in the back. The large fold-out map is very nice, but lacks a scale. Just how far will that hike up the scala fenicia be? The size, 10" by 5" is just about right for sliding into one's shoulder bag.
