Two Requests!
My sister and I take off for the classical "youth backpacking around Europe trip" in (oh my God) 19 days, and I thought I'd make a very general request for useful/interesting books to read before then. We're going to be in Paris, Geneva, Cinque Terres, Rome, Florence, Salzburg, Prague, Berlin, and Amsterdam, FWIW. Be it your favourite travel guide, intro to a city, or travel book in general, hit me!
Second, I've been looking for a specific kind of non-fiction book about music theory: one that's written to be sat down and read, not a series of exercises or a textbook, preferably written with some sort of historical perspective. I can think of lots of science books written in this style, but I've never come across a music one.

The Scent Trail by Celia Littleton is really interesting: a woman buys a bespoke perfume, and visits the various places around the world where its ingredients originated.
