A charming book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is quite a charming book. One can look through the photos with pleasure and read the stories behind the doorbells at random. I gave this book to a very ill friend who loved it. The size made it easy for her to hold and the quick stories were fun and distracting. I looked at the photos a couple of times before reading any of the wonderful stories that are associated with the doorbells. Nice to own and lovely to give as a gift.
fun, dynamic, and charming

A fun set of short stories that transport you through the personal worlds of Florentines via their doorbells. Dynamic and charming throughout.

Losowsky crafts stories about the residents of Florence from clues on their doorbells. These three-dozen glimpses range from a few sentences to a half-dozen pages, making for a fun and beautifully-written book to browse at your leisure. It's at once a quirky guide to a city and a spotlight on a piece of technology we rarely give a second glance. Excellent attention paid to design, with full color photographs, imaginative lettering, and heavy paper. A book for the library, backpack, purse, and back pocket. A book worth keeping.
