No Vulgar Hotel Avis

Do yourself a courtesy and read this revelation about the Jewel of the Adriatic. -- P. J. O'Rourke
Perfect for a swift, semi-intellectual overview of Venice that goes several steps deeper than the average tourist guide. -- Publishers Weekly
Interesting, frequently enlightening, and always amusing. -- Library Journal
Reading her book, with its captivating mini-histories of Venetian literary salons, families of note and artists in residence, is like attending a gossipy Continental dinner party in which Martin not only plays the hostess but moonlights as various guests...Not only does Martin know what she likes, she knows how to serve it. -- Pamela Paul - New York Times Book Review
In the spirit of Henry James...Fans of Miss Manners' high comic style will find much to amuse them in this idiosyncratic slice of prosciutto on wry. -- Amanda Heller - Boston Sunday Globe
