Rome the Second Time Refreshed

We just updated critical chapters of Rome the Second Time, including the chapters on food and drink.  Because entertainment venues change so frequently in Rome, one really can't ever rely on one being open  - or closed.  But we brought you as up to date as possible.  The link to the Updates is at right of the blogsite.  Originally the Updates were designed for the ebook versions of Rome the Second Time, which has over 100 hyperlinks.  But it's equally useful for the paperback users as well.

To give you a taste of the ebook versions, we provided a Google overlay of one of the book maps that appears in those versions.  This example is from Itinerary 9:  Monte Mario (from Chapter 4: "Getting Away Inside Rome").

Above, me trying to read maps - so we know how hard it is and we've tried to make it easier.

Rome the Second Time: In Hyperspace

Rome the Second Time is now available in a new hyper-linked version in all the basic e-versions.  Thanks to goading from Kindle and others, we hyperlinked the new Kindle, iBook, Nook, and other versions of Rome the Second Time.  The hyperlinks include links to websites in the book (such as the museums, wine bars, artists) as well as to additional historical, art, and other knowledge sites. 

All the maps now are overlaid on Google Maps (whew! I say) in these e-versions.  For an example of one, click here for the link to the Water and War itinerary on the Gianicolo. 

The hyper-linking also led us to current, real-time Updating.  These updates are linked in the eBooks and also are on this website:  look at the right for "Book Updates Link"  and by clicking on that, you'll get a current list of any changes to material in Rome the Second Time.

We're on the cutting edge here. Rome the Second Time is one of the first books to go up on Nook and other sites, and one of the most digitally sophisticated travel books available.  In some cases, we're part of the betas for these e-publishers.  So if you see anything that needs changing, or you come across any updates that should be included, let us know... this is a new world in publishing for everyone.

Welcome to hyperspace.
