Venetian Painting: A Concise History (World of Art) by John Steer

Read prior to a visit to Venice, I found this a very enthusiastic and opinionated short history of Venetian painting.
Part of the wide ranging Thames and Hudson World of Art series, the book is dated by the number of black and white and small size of illustrations, but the choice of works and descriptions are excellent.
