Can Anyone Recommend a Good Travel Book on Greece?

I am in the very early stages of planning a trip to Greece. I was going to run out and by a Greece book, but then I thought I'd ask here first for recommendations. We are planning on visiting Athens, Santorini and another island.

Hi, viamar!

I liked the DK Eyewitness Travel Guides for "Greece and the Mainland" and "The Greek Islands."

Also, here's a great list from Amazon:

For "learning" guidebooks as opposed to guides that focus on hotels/restaurants, I recommend Blue Guide Greece and Oxford Archaeological Guide: Greece (authors Christopher Mee and Anthony Spawforth).
Another vote for the Eyewitness Guides too!
Streetwise Athens map is great for getting around the city.
