I had no idea and just saw these on amazon.
This one will be published in July.
And this one came out in November - perfect for the art lover.

I gave the Art Lovers to my daughter for Christmas. She is an art lover and she did love it! The photos are gorgeous and text is "Rick Stevesian". Enjoyable.

Wonder if this is a trend away from the traditional guide book? These types of books don’t require an annual update and aren’t easily replaced with online sites.
Also, I can see them appealing to those who may have outgrown the Rick style of travel, but still enjoy his writing style.

Rick Steves' Europe

They're not a "trend away" on Rick's part from maintaining his traditional city and country guidebooks, but are two topics that he's been wanting to do for a long time. And while creating a new title like 100 Masterpieces is a lot of work, part of the justification to do it is the longevity - the fact that they won't need an update any too soon. For the Love of Europe can be thought of as the sequel to his old Postcards from Europe collection of articles.

FYI, Mr Steves' blog is offering tasty bites of his new book, 'For the Love of Europe', on his blog, see: Daily Dose of Europe.
He mentions the 'dose' in a Washington Post article in today's paper. The article asks three questions regarding travel plans of eleven prominent travelers (Steves, Pauline Frommer, Samatha Brown, Tony Wheeler (Lonely Planet), & seven others).
Someday soon we’ll all look back on this crisis as a time that made us smarter and more compassionate as a society, and more aware that the only way to make our country truly first is to put the entire world first as well.
