There are many great books about Sicily, however, there might not be one perfect book to review everything about Sicily! Therefore one has to carefully select the topic one would like to research/read about the beautiful Mediterranean island. There are excellent books about the history of Sicily like Sicily: An Illustrated History by Joseph F. Privitera, fantastic books about the Art and Culture of Sicily like Sicily: Art, History And Culture by Giovanni Francesio or even books about food from the island like Foods of Sicily and Sardinia and the Smaller Islands by Giuliano Bugialli
When you buy books about Sicily
Make sure the book is specifically about the island of Sicily or at least it is the "main theme". There is nothing more annoying than to buy a book about a specific region but you get just an overview instead of in depth information regarding the subject of your choice. Make sure that you buy a book that's not too old (published date) because the travel information could be out-dated. If possible buy a book that has many of pictures of the island. After all, you would like to see as much of the place you are going to as you can to help you plan your trip. We collected the (in our opinion) best travel books about Sicily available. I hope you find the selection useful. Happy reading!
