Format Change Falters The new 2019 edition has a few significant changes of note. Content remains very good but is reorganized in its placement. This is generally fine and will just take some time to get use to. However, the disappointing change in the paper quality, faint text (fuzzy to this eye) and the poor photo quality are driving the 3 star review. When compared with prior versions, the 2019 edition disappoints in these areas.Quality and content have suffered in 2019! There are lots of guidebooks out there, so I checked the ratings for an upcoming trip to Italy. The DK Eyewitness guides are among the most highly rated, so I checked one out from the local library to see if it's worth buying; for comparison, I also got copies of the guidebooks by Rick Steves, Lonely Planet, Frommers, Michelin, and at least another couple. The library didn't have a copy of the 2019 DK Eyewitness edition on the shelf, so I went for the 2017 (2018 was also checked out). The quality of the print and figures and binding, the detail, the thoroughness were all excellent in that 2017 volume -- really top-notch and deserving of the high ratings. Figuring the 2019 would be the same but with slight updates as necessary, I bought a copy. The 2019 edition shows what must be cost-cutting measures by the publisher. Whereas the previous years' editions have very sturdy bindings, the pages in my brand new 2019 copy separated from the binding on the very first day. (Some might suggest it's designed to do that -- but if that were true, why the glue to hold the binding to the pages?) The cover on the older versions is a thicker material (still softcover) while the cover on the 2019 copy is cheap, like that on a regular paperback book. (My photos show them side by side.) The differences were so obvious I compared various entries in the 2017 volume (the 2018 is extremely similar in content and construction) with the same content in my 2019 volume. (I can see why the front cover of the 2019 version no longer brags on the number of photos, maps, and illustrations, like the 2017 cover does!) I've attached some photos, focusing on showing the content on a topic in the 2017 copy (on the left) and the same topic in the 2019 copy (on the right) -- but in some cases, the 2017 edition presented something (like maps, one photo of which is upside down... sorry) that is completely lacking in the 2019 edition, so a true side-by-side comparison would not be possible. Here are some details on how they compare:- Total page count is 672 in 2017, 560 in 2019 (yet they are of equal thickness)- Paper is glossy and photos/colors are bright and crisp in 2017, paper is cheaper and colors are comparatively dull in 2019- Rome coverage is 98 pp in 2017, 86 pp in 2019- Florence coverage is 44 pp in 2017, 34 pp in 2019; some specific differences include: Florence coverage in 2017 includes maps covering 6 full pages (see my photos) as well as smaller map insets, 2019 includes 2 full pages of maps plus insets Florence coverage in 2017 includes full page "Directory" to accompany maps (shopping, food, markets...), 2019 has a few small sidebars with content on "Drink" or "Eat" or "Shop" (see my photos) Uffizi in Florence is 4 pp (plus additional mentions) in 2017, 2 pp in 2019- Lucca coverage is 4 pp in 2017, 2 pp in 2019 So -- my advice would be to get Rick Steves (a guidebook that fully deserves its top rating). If you really like the DK Eyewitness line, I would buy the 2017 or 2018 edition rather than the 2019 edition. The new edition is still good, but it's a 3-star product while the 2017 edition would get a 5 from me. I hope this helps some who, like me, were overwhelmed by all the choices!Great for our cruise I usually buy Fodors, and I did for our cruise, but I liked using the two books together. I would read Fodors, then go to DK for the pictures and maps. Fodors gives you the specifics on how to get to the the site you want to see, then the DK book gives you color pictures and maps so you can find the train station and/or know what to look for. I'll take the DK book with me on my trip, but I think I needed both to do the planning. Neither was sufficient on its own. Later in my research I bought the Rick Steves' Cruise book and it was far superior.
