Don't know what to do with your tour book after you return? Neither did we. So I am making this offer.
I have Rick's Italy 2007. I will send it to you AT MY EXPENSE! What's the catch? You must promise me that when you are finished with it, you will make the same offer as I am making - you will send offer to send it to someone else AT YOUR EXPENSE and make them promise to do what I am asking you to promise me. At some point, nobody will be interested and in that case, the last person can just throw it away.
The book is torn up. We pulled out each of the sections - Rome, Amalfi Coast, Florence, etc. so I could carry the section in my pocket and not drag around an obvious "tourist here" sign every place I went. So the section pages are together but not in the book. It was wonderful not having to carry around a brick.
You might want to compare it to the 2008 book at your library to decide if it is worth it and possibly just write in changes in prices, hotels, etc.
Anyone?
