The Rise and Fall of the House of Medici by Christopher Hibbert
I picked up a history of the Medici family in Florence. The staff recommended it: a great story with powerful characters, dramatic story, etc. I don't know much about the Medicis, so I was happy to pick it up.
The bookstore had one of the best selections of the trip. I saw history, biography, classics, and contemporary books all on Florence. I had expected to pick up Room with a View, but the staff seemed so knowledgeable and interesting that I went ahead with their recommendation.
