The Smiles of Rome: A Literary Companion for Readers and Travelers
Tremendous variety of authors / interviews / other writings about Rome, with travel information related to each. Chapters are somewhat disjointed, but treating each chapter as stand-alone rather than integrated helped. Having just returned from Rome, I enjoyed the literary items more than the travel, but I agreed with most of the travel recommendations which by happy accident I had seen. It is also possible to scan the chapter headings and read only those which appeal to the reader.
