Rick Steve's Italy 20085
This book came highly recommended and is awesome. We're looking forward to our visit to Italy.

A must for first-time travelers4
I think this is a great resource for those who have never been to Italy and need some basic information. The book is comprehensive covering all the regions of Italy, great to use during stages of preparation. I would highly recommend also buying "its companion", the Eyewitness Italy Italy (Eyewitness Travel Guide) book because it'll cover the history and art more in depth.

This will save you time and Money!!!5
Dude, get the book. It saved us a ton of time in picking up our tix at the Palatine hills rather than at the Coliseum. It also got us to St. Peter's at 1pm with a 30 min wait, rather than do what everyone else does which is to arrive at 9am and have a 3 hour wait.

The tips alone is certainly worth worth every penny. Let's not forget the key things to see in his book and the slight bit of history on each place. However, I found the restaurants really difficult to find in Italy, but I had a tough time finding the Coliseum too:P
