I lost my wallet to a convenient shelf when I bought tickets for the vaporetti (and did not later find it again) and was foolish enough not to take down reference numbers, titles, authors, for what John told me was simply '<em>the</em> Venice book.' If anyone has such detail, I'd like to get it. The purse was not irrelevant, since its loss left we without the means of buying the book, and no-one elsewhere has the slightest idea of what I am referring to---in Arezzo or the internet---isbn/ title, or date of publication preferred.

I worked in a rare book shop in London for a few years and love places like this. A great recommendation. Thanks Patricia. Sounds like a must (no pun!) for our next visit to Venice.

Wish I had known about this when we were there. We'll have to look for it "next time" and tell my book loving friends about it. Thanks! How lovely! Wish I had known about this when we were there.
