| After interviewing Nan McElroy and reading "Italy:Instructions for Use" I feel as though I'm an expert on Italy...which I am certainly not. A great read before you go , on the flight over and easy to put in your pocket as you're out and about. |

| Few [guidebooks] devote much space to practical advice for the first-time traveler to Italy...The attractively printed 110-page guide is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket or purse, yet it's jammed with advice... |

Pocket-sized for easy carrying, [it's] a simple guidebook offering a wealth of basic travel advice organized so that one can consult it for quick answers to common questions, anywhere, anytime. Color-coded sections further speed up one's ability to find answers swiftly. Italy: Instructions For Use is a "must-have" reference before sojourning into Italy, for business or for pleasure.

An antidote to the hulking volumes that offer encyclopedic amounts of information on a locale, McElroy’s book is designed more along the lines of a operating manual. There are no suggestions for where to stay in Capri or how to see the Vatican in a day. Rather, this book enlightens readers on the how-to’s of traveling in Italy: when to go, how to get there, what to pack, how to read road signs, which class to ride in on a train, how to use Italian phones, what to order for an aperitivo and why the tabaccaio is a resourceful shop, even if you don’t smoke. For first-time visitors, it’s a boon. McElroy...explains everything travelers need to know in order to blend in and enjoy their trip. Each chapter is color-coded for easy reference, and Italian vocabulary words augment every section.

...small enough to fit into a hip pocket, but contains all the basics that you need for survival in Italy.

| From: Kathleen A. McCabe, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief, Dream of Italy |
|
...forgoes the hotel and restaurant recommendations and focuses on the practicalities of visiting Italy. McElroy rightfully reminds readers that “Italy is a country, not a theme park.” First or second time visitors will get the most out of this colorful book, but even experienced travelers will find a handful of new and helpful tips.
