Summary: Excellent travel reference
Review: In April, I toured Cuba on the Viazul bus system. Your book provided critical current and accurate info for me, an older woman traveling alone such as I was. Thanks. If anyone has questions, I am available for discussion. ljustice@cyberhighway.net

Summary: best guide to Cuban history and culture
Review: Moon Travel Handbook's guide to Cuba is by far the best travel book on Cuba I found. I visited the island last year for 3 weeks and referred to it daily. It provides the most extensive overview of Cuban history of any travel book I've seen, beating Lonely Planet hands down. The schedules and pricing for museums and transportation are comprehensive and accurate (although expect prices to rise as more north americans visit Cuba). Even my Cuban family and friends were impressed with this book. If you are traveling to the island, and can only bring *one* book with you, this is it.

Summary: Cuba - La Estrella Solitaria (Cuba - The Solitary Star)
Review: Reading Christopher Baker's book was one of the healthiest things I did before going to Cuba. The historical perspective Mr.Baker injects is not always objective but nonetheless very helpful. The maps were very accurate and helped me to discover some of the best out of the way places to enjoy music and good food such as the notorious 'paladares'. I would recommend this book to anyone that is contemplating a visit to this magnificent island. The book added a dimension of adventure I would not have completely experienced had I not read it.

Summary: A Wealth of Detailed Information --Cover to Cover
Review: The Moon Travel Cuba Handbook (not to be confused with other Cuba Handbooks) is an excellent source for travelers in Cuba.(Paladares-private restaurants in Cuba- come and go overnight.Info should be confirmed) After spending four weeks touring Cuba (June '98), I found this book to be a much more detailed resouce than Fodors and Lonely Planet. Every time I referred to this book, my Cuban family and exaptriate friends were impressed at the extent and accuracy of the informaion. It covers everything you expect, and alot more that only someone like Christopher Baker, who has spent alot of time touring the country, associating with the people and enjoying the culture can express.

Summary: The most complete guide book on Cuba!
Review: This book has an amazing amount of very specific info. My friends in Cuba wanted my copy, they were so impressed with it. I'll have to buy them their own copies, because I'll need mine on my third trip (and fourth and...)

Summary: If you have no internet, this will help...some
Review: This book is now 3 years old. The info is getting more outdated by the day. Casa particulares sites are easy to find. You pay an extra 10$ per day but you can make reservations on line with little trouble. The CPs are now taxed and regulated and easy to find by virtue of the blue and white triangles the display. His book on Havana isn't much better even though it is a new edition. Unless you're a technophobe, stick with the internet and print out what you need. The best part of both books are the maps for getting oneself oriented. I find out in two months how much updating they need as far as points of reference.

Summary: This guide beats all the others easily
Review: This guide was very useful in a recent trip to Cuba. I also took Fodor's and the Lonely Planet's guide to Cuba which turned out to be less comprehensive, and they were helpful in a general not so specific way, when reviewing this guide with some cuban friends they were impressed by the accuracy of the information. Especially by the restaurant and sightseeing reccomendations, paladares and nightclubs and nightspots should be re-checked since they vary all the time. Great guide, this is the one to buy

Review: This is the best travelbook for Cuba, we have been there in feb '99 and even compared this book with The Lonely Planet. All (experienced) travellers agreed this book from Moon was much better than the Lonely Planet!!

Summary: The best travel guide for Cuba
Review: This is the most extensive and best written travel guide for Cuba. It covers everything you can see there. If it doesn't list some places, that means it's nothing to do there. The guide is a bit outdated, especially the restaurant sections. In such cases we consulted the Rough Guide to Cuba, which is more up-to-date, but covers much less than a Moon Handbook. I hope it will be updated soon.
