Summary: A worthwhile purchase!!!!
Review: My friends and I all went down to the Virgin Islands over spring break. We were staying on St. Thomas, but got tired of shopping and decided that we wanted to do some exploring. We were directed to take a ferry over to St. John where I found this book in a local shop. We rented a jeep and followed the North Shore route where we visited Annaberg and stopped at Trunk Bay for a swim. What a wonderful little book! It really helped us to learn about how special an island St. John is, and made us feel more like explorers of a tropical paradise rather than some tourists that are shuttled back and forth. I only wish that we had been able to stay longer and visit more of the sites listed in this guidebook.

Summary: St. John guidebooks
Review: My wife and I recently visited St. John, and found this book very helpful. The authors obviously know the island quite well, and there's lots of good information and photos. I thought the book was well written and well organized. One of the better guides I've come across.

Summary: This is great!!!!!
Review: Personally speaking, I find this book to be very detailed and painstakingly accurate. Being from the islands myself, I find that most guide books leave out the history and individual story specific to the place. But this book, gives the islands a history and also a particular humanness. Little tidbits that make the place unique and worth while. This is no tourist deal. You see the care and appreciation for the island in every well thought out fact. I recommened this book, not because I happen to love the great pictures and historic deatils, but because being an island girl allows for me to be objective. This book has it all. Buy it and enjoy its bounty.

Summary: Excellent value!
Review: The walking and motor tous are enjoyable and easy to follow! there is so much to see and do on a first trip to ST. John. I was only there for 7 short days, and without "St. John On Foot and By Car" it would have been confusing for me to figure out where or how to begin exploring this beautiful island. The step-by -step tours detailed in the book were extremely helpful, and everything is well illustrated with color photographs, including the handy field guides to the island's most popular beaches and hiking trails as well as the most common types of flora and fauna. without a doubt, a worthwhile purchase!

Summary: Avoid this book
Review: This is a very superficial treatment of the island. The poor quality of the photos makes the book worthless even as a souvenir. You'll get better info at the National Park Headquarters. Wait til you get to St. John and then buy books or maps that suit your needs (hiking, snorkeling, history, flora/fauna, etc.).

Summary: Dazzling!
Review: Very straightforward introduction to history, culture and natural world of St. John. Lots of color photography, easy to follow walking and motors tours of the island. Full of historical facts. Pulls together under one cover alot of usefull information about beaches, hiking trails, Annaberg Sugar Mill, Cinnamon Bay Nature Trail, etc. Nothing pretentious about this book. A very handy guild for vacationers looking to inhance their island escape with just the right dosage of information.
