Venice, the Tourist Maze book

Venice, The Tourist Maze: A Cultural Critique of the World's Most Touristed City by Davis and Martin. It is a detailed book on Venice and its history through the filter of tourism. The book examines the various facets of the city, and is a great resource for anyone interested in Venice.

For information on the tourist triangle, see page 98. A chapter called Contested Ground starts on page 105 and details differences between citizens and tourists, and how the heavy tourism industry can adversely effect the local inhabitants.
