Hi Jackie:
You are talking about Burano and Murano. They are pretty small islands, so a book on Venice will cover them adequately. Also, my favorite non guidebook for Venice–Donna Leon’s mysteries– have volumes set on at least one of those islands. You can check her publisher’s site and find out, if you want.

Thanks, Nancy. I’m in a book group whose reading list often provides meat for posts here. See my TBR-Books Coming and Going page for some of those books.

My dream trip: Italy. But I have two very specific islands I want to visit. Venice would be nice, but I want to go where the glass and lace are made.

I’ll see if this publisher has a book about that.
