Hi Arty,The price is £12.99 including free delivery to Italy (or the UK I presume), but if we get several orders together, we will get a discount. Thanks

I have the guide book and have found it pretty good with clear and concise directions and advice. Sorry cannot recall the price paid but I bought on Amazon.Another highly detailed and worthwhile guide for the serious walker with good map and CD Rom is available at www.sibilliniwalks.com . Price £15 plus postage (approx £3 in UK).Al

Sarah who works at Cicerone, the publishers of the book have very kindly donated a copy for our fundraising BBQ on the 21st June. She will post it as soon as I put my order in for the books so if anyone else wants one, could they let me know as soon as possible - we are getting a 25% discount of the publishing price as well as free delivery to Italy!
