Summary of Venice for Pleasure (Pallas for Pleasure)

Now in its seventh revised edition, Venice for Pleasure has become a minor classic, remaining in print for more than 30 years. ?Its simple object,? in the author?s own words, ?is to guide the reader to places he might otherwise miss and, having reached them, to tell him what he might wish to know and then leave him, preferably at a café..." Extensive color illustrations, including classic paintings and historical maps accompany the text to reveal a Venice of 50, 100, and 500 years ago.
