thanks and congratulations again to yo...Ciao Lara,<br /><br />thanks and congratulations again to your guide book ! I am very excited to have a copy of it, written by a blogger friend :-)<br /><br />The facts are correct ! However one detail could have been added (that the general was king) - or left out (the mafia killing) as it might give a wrong impression and it is not really a historic mile stone.<br /><br />Meanwhile I found that Seminara is mentioned in the art and craft chapter. But it is not in the index, that's why I did not see it. Sorry.<br /><br />I do enjoy reading your guidebook and looking at the pics, as they are not the usual postcard motives that you might find (if you are lucky).<br /><br />Have a save tip and until later!- Susan -https://www.blogger.com/profile/00041505753618457001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327967732830777058.post-25469725255434325082009-07-23T01:02:01.514+07:002009-07-23T01:02:01.514+07:00Ciao Suzie!
Thank you for the wonderful comments...Ciao Suzie! <br /><br />Thank you for the wonderful comments and feedback!<br /><br />I am currently on the road in Spain and it's hectic as usual. Tomorrow we fly to Venice (for dinner at The Met) then the next day we fly to Dubai, so I'm going to have to get back to you in a few days. <br /><br />When I get back to you, I'll explain why we make the decisions we do (about words and pics) when we write and shoot guidebooks, why some things go in and some things get left out. Mostly it has to do with word counts. We have strict word counts for each chapter and so we can't include everything. There were so many other things I wanted to include but I simply couldn't. But more on that later.<br /><br />All of the history came from local sources, and then we triangulate it with three academic sources. After that, the editor at Thomas Cook checks all the facts too. So I'll have to look at my research notes again when I'm back in Dubai and get back to you :)<br /><br />Thanks again!Lara Dunstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05568159382939703162noreply@blogger.com
