Pocket Guides
Insight Pocket Guides pioneered a new approach to guidebooks, introducing the concept of authors as "local hosts" who provide readers with personal recommendations for places to see and things to do, just as they would give honest advice to a friend who came to stay. Itineraries are carefully chosen and timed, including full- and half-day options and excursions to cater for all tastes. And to make things really easy, itineraries are cross-referenced to a large fold-out map that folds neatly into the book. The graphic photography brings the destination to life. Umbria - Pocket Guide Feb 2006 (current ed.) 96 pages
