Hello,
My husband and I are on the way to Italy for our honeymoon and just realized that we forgot our most important travel companion - the Rick Steves Italy book! Does anyone know of any bookstore or anywhere that we might be able to buy one in Venice? Or if there might be somewhere in the Atlanta airport?
Thank you so much!
buy it online as an ebook: https://rickstevesdigital.com/Products/79f01e99-485a-4479-a2cc-a62c018b2197
I have seen some in airport bookstores, but if you have a smart phone or tablet, you could pay for and download the ebook version.
Have a wonderful time!

Last year a lady lost her book in the Atlanta airport in this thread

One of the answers was
Here are a couple: Wellington Books
http://www.wellingtonbooksvenice.com/ An English bookstore on the
Calle della Mandola, and, Libreria Acqua Alta
http://www.venezia.net/16/01/2014/libreria-acqua-alta-gli-scaffali-per-i-libri-sono-gondole-barche.html
Calle Lunga Santa Maria Formosa Acqua Alta is also a tourist
destination. They say a place not to be missed while in Venice.
If you are staying at one of his recommended hotels...expect to see several copies in the lobby that are probably free to take since other travelers have obviously left them behind at the end of their trip. Airports and many tourist locations sell them.
Another vote for the Ebook version.
If you're travelling with a Smartphone, Netbook or Tablet, I'd also recommend downloading the E-Book version. It's available in several formats, including Kindle and iBooks. The cost is less than buying the paper version.
