When in Rome . . . take this with you
*Italy is the fourth most popular overseas destination for Americans, and Rome holds the #2 spot in the "World's Best City" category, according to a 2001 Travel & Leisure report
*What other guidebook would dare teach readers how to find a proper cappuccino, tell a friendly hand gesture from a not-so-friendly one, and see monks' bones, "talking" statues, and lesser-known Michelangelos?
*The best Rome shopping-for bargains, for boots, and even for papal vestments
*Coverage of major cultural attractions as well as some unique-and non-touristy-museums and sights
