Description

Large trade paperback. 368pp., Index. Extensively illustrated with color photographs. Second edition. From rear cover: “Insight Guide: Sicily is much more than a guidebook. Expert journalists not only explore this enigmatic Mediterranean island but also peer behind the normally drawn curtains and reveal what makes it tick. The book begins with a rousing history section and a series of incisive essays designed to give insight into the island and its people: their customs, culture, architecture, political life–and the role of the Mafia. It then provides a comprehensive run-down of the sights worth seeing and the attractions worth visiting, with detailed maps. Finally, a fact-packed listings section contains all the information you’ll need on travel, hotels, restaurants and opening times.” No previous ownership marks. A very clean, square, unmarked and unread copy. As new.
