"Inside Tuscany Books" publishes guidebooks that feature less-visited sites in southern Tuscany, teach the basics of art, and share family recipes. The guidebooks feature Scott Tiezzi Grabinger's philosophy of slow travel focussing on setting up a base for exploration. The books are unique in that the author has several years of experience traveling in Tuscany. His books have a unique point of view because he has numerous cousins to teach him about places other guidebooks miss and he speaks Italian. He has also written a highly praised memoir of essays recounting his adventures and misadventures while traveling in Italy entitled "Walking the Aqueduct."
