Summary: Beautiful pictures... great coffee table book!
Review: Although it would be almost impossible for a picture book about St. Bart's to not be pretty. The island is without a doubt the most breathtakingly beautiful place I've ever been. I went on a Windjammer Barefoot cruise around the Caribbean last summer. St. Bart's was the second island where our ship stopped. I was having dinner with some new friends that night, and believe it or not, we had the good fortune to miss the "launch" back to the ship from the island. Yes, we were pretty freaked out at first, but then we checked into a great hotel with an incredible view of the Gustavia harbor. To my delight, in this book is a picture of the harbor that must have been taken from somewhere near that hotel, because it's almost the same picture I took from the terrace of our suite. The hotel was called the Carl Gustaf, and it was REALLY expensive but I thought worth it! The next day, we chartered a flight from St. Bart's to Nevis and caught up with our ship. This book also has some great aerial shots of the island, which remind me of that flight. If you've been to St. Bart's and loved it, you'll love this book!

Summary: A beautiful memory book of St. Barths
Review: Having visited St. Barths numerous times this is the finest memory book to date. The beautiful photographs bring the colors, beaches, hills and people of St. Barths into full focus. If you're not fabulous enough to be there at least you can be fabulous enough to have the book. Love the island: love the book.

Summary: I want to add something to my last review!
Review: I wrote the first review about this book and I would like to add some lines: My girlfriend, who spent some of her holidays in St Barth had a look at the book and in her opinion it is not as good as other travelbooks about the Caribbean, but it is the best book about St. Barth she knows. Please add this comment to my review.

Summary: First thing I ever bought from Amazon
Review: In 1999, we were trying to decide the destination of our first Carribean trip. Some friends had suggested St. Barth... I bought it, it arrived two days later. 30 seconds into the book, I called my wife and said "we ARE going to St. Barth." We did and spent two weeks. St. Barth looks EXACTLY as pictured in the book. Plus, the photos capture a sense of the spirit of St. Barth's, which is hard to put into words but great to experience. Now, for us, the book serves as a high quality photo album of one of the greatest places on this planet I've been to. Buy the book; go to St. Barth. Go back again (I hope soon)

Summary: A fantastic book about a fantastic place!
Review: Mr. and Mrs. Didcott do a superlative job in their words and pictures of capturing the unique spirit of a unique place. The photography is unsurpassed in describing the very special beauty of a caribbean island. The only drawback to this book is that it may encourage more people to go to a place that already too many want to visit.

Summary: Only the cover is good
Review: The book has a nice cover, and that`s about it. Neither the text inside nor the big amount of pictures are intresting or good. A clear waste of money.
