1: Do Not Visit Florence Without This Map
This map was an enourmous help on my trip to Florence. The pages fold out into large maps of each portion of the city. The recommended things to see are spot on and the descriptions give a great idea of what you are in store for. I used this so much that I found myself reaching for it when I was looking for my Italian phrase book (this is not a language guide). I highly recommend it.
Also, the map does not go much further south than Porta Romana, so if you are staying south of the city I recommend grabbing a cheap paper map that covers the south end of the city.
One thing worth noting is that I could not find some of the recommended stores. I assume they have moved or closed their doors since this was published.

2: love this book
We love the Knopf Mapguides. We used this one for our 10 days in Florence and the ones For Rome and Venice on other visits. They fit in your hip pack or purse and are easy to read and follow. We wont travel without them!

4: Good detailed maps & varied recommendations; missing some key info
I like the fold out maps and the variety of info organized by neighborhood. I've used this brand of guide for London as well and thought it really worked. The only big complaint I have is that they do not list prices/admissions for the attractions, which can lead to big surprises, especially in the major Italian art cities.

5: Best City Map Series on the Market - Bar None
I've used Knopf Mapguides all over the world and find them to be the single best way to orient and explore a major city. Their pocket sized format and clear, fold out maps make them perfect for navigating a city without looking like a clueless tourist unfolding a huge map on a streetcorner. The restaurant and attraction recommendations are excellent. If you buy only one guide to vist one of the world's major cities, get one of these.
