 Not as detailed on the Amalfi Coast, but still very good March 23, 2008
I traveled to Naples in August 2007, staying just off the Spaccanapoli. Using this as a starting point, I traveled down to Pompeii and Vesuvius and finally on to Sorrento (the most beautiful of all my stops, by far!) The DK guide kept things straight in my mind and recommended some very interesting sites (such as the shopping lanes in Sorrento and details of the Naples Cathedral) that I might have missed otherwise. Food and entertainment suggestions were also right on.
It's a small guide, but packs a lot in. I found it to be very useful for my stay in this area of Italy. Highly recommended. One last thing: when you're planning your stay in the region, at least investigate the possibility of making your home base in Sorrento or one of the Amalfi towns. Naples might appeal to some, but I found the city a bit too chaotic and dirty. There's a homey, inviting feel to some areas. But I still believe that travelers would do better in the smaller towns. If you'd like to see the Naples Archaeological Museum, Galleria Umberto, or other site in the city, think about making it a day trip or two into Naples. The Circumvesuviana line runs from Sorrento to Naples and is only about 10 euro. If you're the type that appreciates a quiet, casual atmosphere, you'll be much happier along the coast in my opinion.

I have not received this book. I received the wrong book from Frugal Media on Thursday. I e-mailed them on Thursday March 8, 2007 and still have not heard from them. They sent me "Maple V Quick Reference" book in error. I still need this book for travel in April (2007). Can you help me?
Mostly Naples, just a little of Amalfi coast towns February 20, 2007

I was hoping to get some more info. on the Amalfi coast towns, as that's where I'm visiting this summer. The coverage of Naples is extensive, which of course, is the lead part of the title. But "and the Amalfi coast" was also thrown in there, and for my interests, the towns of Positano, Praiano, Amalfi and Ravello occupied a total of 2 pages in a 250 page book. Sorrento got another 2 pages. That being said, the overall book is beautifully produced with lots of photos, maps, and careful drawings of key buildings. It's slim, easy to carry in your bag, and the text is an easy read, nothing overly confusing here. I think if you're looking for Naples info. mostly then this is your book. It would deserve 5 stars for that.
