World Guide to Nude Beaches & Resorts (1995)

Summary: Just plain wrong
Review: The best resource of its kind and its updated regularly by the publishers who manage to keep current by maintaining contact with contacts worldwide. 'Holy Nature the Book' is great for those interested in Family Naturism in Russia and 'The North American Guide' is good for the U.S. (both available through Amazon as well).

Summary: The Best Guide to Clothing-Optional Recreation in English
Review: The latest edition of the "World Guide" is better than ever. I've purchased most of the other guides for clothing-optional recreation available in English, and the "World Guide" covers many more nude hot springs, free beaches, and nudist clubs than anything else in print. I've been to most of the places in the Pacific Northwest that the guide talks about, and so far the directions and descriptions have been accurate and up to date. I take xeroxed copies of relevant pages with me as my wife and I travel from state to state, and from country to country. The photography is also fantastic. The publisher is not ashamed of using complete nudity, but it is not at all "racy." I've shown this book to my friends to help explain what naturism is all about.

Summary: The best guide available for clothing optional leisure.
Review: This is clearly the best guide to family-friendly clothing optional recreation that is written in English. Most of the other naturist guides tell you about clothing optional hot springs, OR nudist clubs, OR nude beaches. But Baxandall's book covers them all...from the Caribbean to the USA, from Asia to Europe. The photographs are beautiful and of "coffee table" quality. I recommend this book to anyone interested in non-lewd nude recreation.

Summary: not very accurate
Review: unfortunately it is not very accurate. Of cource I havent tried every place in the book there are hundreds but it leaves out some very important facts like it is true that there is a nude area in Manuel Antonio park in costa rica but the book forgets to tell you that it is gay! Be very careful about the info on California thought it is very good at getting you there it is not accurate on what gos on there. An expensive book that just has not been very useful to me.
