Where to buy Rick Steves book in Tuscany?

Hi All

I'm currently in Orvieto, leaving for Montalcino and the val d'Orcia for the next two days. The airline I flew into Europe with lost my bags and I'm currently on day 6 without any luggage including my precious guidebooks! Does anyone know where I might be able to find Rick Steve's books in the area? I'm trying to replace the Siena and Hill Towns book.

Ciao!

Shauna,

Do you by any chance have a tablet with you? If you do you can buy a kindle version through Amazon. If not I am sure others can help you with suggestions. There are the large book stores, Feltrinelli comes to mind, which might have an english version

I buy guidebooks from iBooks app on my tablet (actually it goes through iTunes), but if you can access amazon.com on a mobile device you can get sn e-copy. You may never go back to paper guidebooks.

If you want paper, Orvieto would be your best option. Ask the TI in Piazza del Duomo for possible locations.

Thanks! We found a bookstore in Orvieto which was a good thing since they had a (small) english guidebook section. No where else in Southern Tuscany seemed to have anything in case anyone else is looking in the future!
