"'...[it] provides an opportunity to see the city as it was and is today. Using this guide, you can scour the waterways and be enlightened by well-known writers and art-historians on practically every aspect surrounding this architecturally and culturally rich city...a brilliant anthological guide to Venice, which informs the user of the best walks through [it].' Geographical Magazine 'Seeking out the gems of Venice's art history in its churches and scuole will require the services of a good guide-book...Venice: An Anthology Guide is a good travelling companion, giving art-historical background and descriptions from a variety of learned visitors down the centuries.' Scotsman '...[it deserves] the warmest of welcomes. Above all, if there is a member of the British-Italian Society who does not know Milton Grundy's book, he or she should immediately go out and buy a copy.' Rivista, Journal of the British-Italian Society 'I've visited countless cities and oceans and deserts without venturing from my bed. Lately I've been lost in Milton Grundy's [book]...Next year I'm going to book a return air ticket and pack [his] guide into my rucksack.' Eastern Daily Press"
