Tuscany - Guides and Reference books
   

 

The Rough Guide to Tuscany & Umbria. Well written book with far more local detail than most other guides. Style is informative and sophisticated but very friendly. There are some maps, but this is more of a book to read and enjoy than to dip into for quick reference, and you will certainly discover things about Tuscany that no other guide book will tell you.

Eyewitness Guide. Not as detailed as the Rough Guide, but it makes up for this with excellent design, maps and photographs. Use it to decide where to go and what to see and get some basic facts and descriptions, but look elsewhere for detail.

Blue Guide. At the other end of the scale, the Blue Guides have vast amounts of information, historical notes and overall detail. Excellent on Art and Architecture. This is the Blue Guide to Florence - there is also a Blue Guide to Tuscany ( or )

Fodor's. Ever popular and regularly updated, the Fodor's guides are rightly famous. This is the Italy guidebook, not solely Tuscany.
