Bonus tip! Italian Bookstores to Browse...

	The English Bookshop, Borgo Giannotti 493, Lucca, Itlay (tel. 0583 331169) is only about 500 m. from the walls of the Centro Storico (Historic District) of Lucca and is in a delightful neighborhood. Danny has an amazing array of books in English and is especially adept in steering the reader toward books that will enhance the Italian-Tuscan-Luchesse experience. Rebecca, Savannah, USA
	In Rome, look for the Anglo-American Bookstore: Near the Spanish Steps, this store is particularly useful for art and architecture books, and academic books regarding the history and culture of Rome. Also a large selection of novels. Via della Vite 102 The Corner Bookstore: Long a standby for English books in Trastevere, the Corner Bookstore has just moved from its original location and is now larger, neater, and better lit. The owner, Claire, and her staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Via del Moro (in Trastevere) Economy Book and Video Center: Near Stazione Termini and Piazza della Repubblica, this bookstore has a wide selection including used novels. They also keep a bulletin board with notices for those seeking work, accommodations, Italian or English lessons, and more. Via Torino 136. Website: www.agora.stm.it/kem.bookcenter The Lion Bookstore: Perhaps the largest of Rome's English bookstores, this one includes a cafe. The fiction, cooking, art and architecture, as well as children's selections are especially good. Via dei Greci 33 Laura and Susan, Rome, Italy
	There's a really good English bookstore in Siena, Italy. It's called Book Shop and is at Via San Pietro 19, which is very near the Duomo, right in the center of town. The owner, Lisa, originally from the USA, is a charming, friendly, welcoming young woman. Laya, Ramat Hasharon, Israel
	I'd like to recommend Libreria Emiliana in Venice. Sorry I do not have the address, but it is well worth looking for it . I know it's not too far from Plaza San Marco. Sheila, Toronto, Canada EDITOR'S NOTE: This shop is located at: San Marco Goldoni 4487. In their own words, 'We have a large variety of books containing pictoresque photos along with history and art. You can also find literature in English and French. We also specialize in providing books on Murano Glass, Italian cuisine, comics and tales for children'.
