Wing Span Press Publishes a Guide Book for the 2006 Winter Olympics

Wing Span Press has published 'Torino 2006, A Local's Guide to the Winter Olympics.' It is a pocket sized, English language guide that combines valuable information about a relatively unknown Italian destination with details of one of the world's largest sporting events.

Livermore, CA (PRWEB) September 12, 2005 -- The XX Winter Olympics will be in Turin, Italy between the 10th and 26th of February 2006. Beyond some 50,000 athletes, coaches, judges, sponsors and national committee members, planners expect more than 1.5 million visitors, most of them foreigners.

The book has 130 pages of practical information including descriptions of important tourist sites in and around Turin, dining suggestions, a regional wine guide and more.

Olympic information includes a schedule of competition and descriptions of each sports venue in Turin and the six mountain villages.

An extensive list of useful Italian words and phrases, detailed maps of central Turin, and a thorough explanation of the public transportation network complete the guide.

James Sajo, a freelance journalist who has lived in Italy for 13 years, wrote the guide. His experience writing about Italian travel, sport, cuisine and culture provided the tools for a comprehensive book that will help visitors enrich their Olympic experience.

The book sells for $10 or 8 Euro and will be available at www.overlookedbooks.com. It will also be sold in selected bookstores in Turin.
