#3 I've read _Empires of the Sea_ and it was good. I haven't read any of the others but I have read other works on Venice, notably _A Brief History of Venice_ by Elizabeth Horodwich.

There's all sorts of cheap free or nearly free books on the Kindle Store and at Gutenberg.

#4 I didn't know I knew so little about Venice until reading on the subject. I knew they were shrewd merchants, but didn't know why. Such as their meticulous collection of information. Mr. Crowley mentions in City of Fortune that an archive was found with something like 30 miles of paper noting events and rumors and prices; captains were required by law brief the state about the voyage.
