Sicily Guidebook

I was wondering why there is no mention of Sicily in the Italy Tourbook and why there is no Tourbook for Sicily?

There's a rumor that one is in the works. Don't be afraid to use other books - Lonely Planet worked out very well for me. See what's available at your local library first.

We have seen posts here from Rick's staff that he is working on a Sicily guidebook, but there is nothing official yet.

As for why there is nothing about Sicily (or, for that matter, many other parts of the country) in his Italy book: his staff has posted here that his publisher has given Rick a firm rule. No more pages can be added to the Italy book - at all. So, in order to add a destination, like Sicily, he would have to take something out, which he won't be doing.

A lot of us like the idea of splitting Italy into two books, north and south, with Rome in both books. But for now, it's just our idea.
