Frommer's Easyguide to Florence and Tuscany
by Stephen Brewer and Mr Donald Strachan
Published 1 January 2014
More and more American tourists to Italy are confining their stays to the ultra-popular province of Tuscany, with its "capitals" of Florence and Siena, its astonishing Pisa and Lucca, its Grevi (chianti and montepulciano wines) and San Gimignano. Donald Strachan, author of our broader Easy Guide to Rome, Florence and Venice, has won awards for his previous guides to Tuscany, which he and Stephen Brewer have brought entirely up-to-date for 2015 and beyond. You are in the hands of consummate experts when you use their superb guidebook.
Frommer's Easyguide to Charleston, Savannah and St. Augustine
by Keeling Stephen Keeling
Published 26 August 2014
These three charming Southern "capitals" (including the oldest in America) are massively popular tourist destinations because of their well-preserved architecture (capturing the ante-bellum life of the 1860s and the Spanish colonial era, in the case of St. Augustine), their active theatre scene (especially in Charleston), their numerous museums and historic homes, their remarkable restaurants, and the unique personality of their civic life and residents. You dip into an earlier era when you visit them. Our Easy Guide captures the best of their facilities and attractions in condensed form, confining its 256 pages and maps to the outstanding highlights of all three cities.
Frommer's Easyguide to Rome, Florence and Venice 2015
by Keeling Stephen Keeling, Mr Donald Strachan, and Eleonora Baldwin
Published 1 January 2014
A strong best-seller in its 2014 edition, this is a thoroughly revised and up-to-date guide to one of travel's most popular places. Its authors have won awards for their earlier treatment of Tuscany (in a smaller volume) and here devote their talents to the three broader areas that most visitors choose to visit. But in the Easy Guide tradition, they don't attempt to note hundreds of hotels, restaurants, museums and shops, but a smaller, more manageable number that they prefer. The reader benefits.

Frommer's Easyguide to Rome, Florence and Venice 2014
by Mr Donald Strachan and Keeling Stephen Keeling
Published 1 January 2014
Selling for a lower price than any similar guidebook, and deliberately limited to a short 256 pages, this EasyGuide is an exercise in creating easily-absorbed travel information. It emphasizes the authentic experiences in each destination:the most important attractions, the classic method of approaching a particular destination; the best choices for accommodations and meals; the best ways to maximize the enjoyment of your stay. Because it is "quick to read, light to carry", it is called an "EasyGuide", and reflects Arthur Frommer's lifetime of experience in presenting clear and concise travel advice.
