One Year After Winter Olympics, Sales Soar for New Turin Guide Book
One year after the extraordinary success of the 2006 Winter Olympics, Turin is Italy's hottest new tourist destination. As the tourism season kicks off, "Turin, A Local's Guide to the Olympic City" is the perfect pocket-sized reference that provides valuable information for travelers. Early internet sales reflect a strong desire to visit Italy -- especially Turin.
Livermore, CA (PRWEB) February 11, 2007 -- A new book from Wing Span Press, "Turin, A Local's Guide to the Olympic City," started sales last week. Immediate returns were much higher than expected.
Author James Sajo is a freelance journalist who has lived in Italy for 15 years. Last year, he carried the Olympic Flame on its journey to the Games, wrote an award winning book to the Olympics, and worked as a guide in Turin. Those experiences, along with extensive writings about Italian travel, sport, cuisine, and culture provided the tools for a comprehensive guide that will help visitors enrich their visit to Turin.
The book has 100 pages of practical information including descriptions of important tourist sites in and around the city, dining suggestions, a regional wine guide and more.
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 volume.
The book sells for $12.95 and is available at www.overlookedbooks.com, or www.amazon.com. It will also be sold in selected bookstores in Turin.
