(trash this line) I plan to be in Florence, Venice, Sienna and Ravenna the last two weeks of September and would appreciate recommendations on hotels or pensiones(sp?). I'm looking for something fairly moderate in price, with bath, in non-noisy non-touristy areas. Since I will be driving a car, parking is a consideration, also. Any recommendations on restaurants, must-see sites, and good deals in shopping would also be appreciated. Please reply by e-mail, or if US Snail is more reliable, I can be reached at: Pamela McGarvey Comprehensive Epilepsy Program Department of Neurology UCLA School of Medicine Los Angeles, CA 90024

We were in Venice, Florence and Rome last fall. We carried "Europe on $20 a Day"--well known; no comments needed. We also carried "Stephen Birnbaum brings you the very best of Europe 1983," and I commend this book to you. Note that Birnbaum picks "the very best" in every price category, although his bottom is roughly Frommer's top. For what it's worth, Time magazine picked Birnbaum as the all-around best European guide. -- David H. Copp
