Art-SITES “handbooks are organized geographically for walking tours of neighborhoods or regional excursions. Entries are icon-coded, cross-referenced to handy maps and accompanied by enticing illustrations and helpful travel hints. Jargon-free discussions critically assess each site and shed light on artists and styles. There are also invaluable subject and alphabetical indexes. Whether you’re a veteran tourist or armchair traveler, a Sunday painter or professional in the art world, these guides are eye-opening treasure troves.”
