Product Info Reviews

Description:

Whether you're shopping for an island or have already decided where to go, you'll get a serious amount of information in this brick-sized guide. Especially helpful for the undecided is a new section containing more than 30 pages of color photos--like a miniature coffee-table book--so a browser intrigued by a mountain view, a cricket match, or a carnival street scene can choose an island by sight. Each chapter opens with a small story or anecdote, which can be equally compelling. Once you zero in on an island, there are frank, fact-filled sections on hotels, restaurants, sites, an "A to Z" of practicalities (what to wear to dinner in St. Barts), and fun facts--like the antique trading beads that wash up on beaches in St. Eustatius. Did we mention the maps? Each island has one, with hotels clearly marked (very useful for plotting distances between airport, town, or the best beach). In the back there's a full-color, pull-out Rand McNally map of a lifetime's worth of island idylls. --Cynthia Penney
