1. I don't own this edition but I have an ebook of the original that this is a facsimile of. Basically it's the geography of india compared to the descriptions of Arrian and Ptolemy and a Chinese explorer. That part is fantastic but the maps are absolutely incomprehensible. There are bold lines going every which way (possible routes of alexander?), barely legible names that may be towns, rivers, mountains, etc. The author tried to put too much information into each map. Perhaps if one could find a good atlas this book could be used in conjunction with it. However, I'm still looking for a good historical atlas of india in the classical era. If anyone knows of one, please let me know.

1. Great photos and book design, laid out to give the important information without overload, easy enough to carry with you in the street. Good breakdown of the areas within the city and the major sights. Would be an excellent book to look at if you are thinking of going to Rome to get a feel for the city. The maps are very good, the walking itineraries are very good; shopping, eating and entertainment is reviewed at the back of each city section. Only weak point is that only 14 hotels are reviewed, but those 14 are enough of a variety to get you a nice place. Well worth buying if you are heading over there.



2. This is the only guide you you need to Rome. It is complete, well organized, easy to use and unbiased. The guide contains enough information yet is still light enough to carry around.
