The
Best of the British Virgin Islands (The Best of Series)
Pamela Acheson
Reviews: (Independent Publisher)
"The Best of the British Virgin Islands is aptly named, and
in the hands of a traveler bound for these islands is a near-guarantee
of a great trip."
(Midwest Book Review)
"The Best of the British Virgin Islands is essential to getting
the most out of any trip to the British Virgin Islands."
Description: "..a travel book written
by a local, and not a visiting travel writer; found here are
inside secrets, tips and just plain chatter no short-term
visitor could hope to learn. If you want to see the real Virgin
Islands, and not just the picture postcard, this book is for
you& best used as a companion guide, along with other
materials. A "Best of" list at the end of the book is quite
valuable and in the hands of a traveler bound for these islands
offers a near-guarantee of a great trip."

Visitor's
Guide to the Windward Islands (Visitor's Guides)
by Don Philpot
ISBN:0861905598
Reviews: (Amazon.com)
"Sometimes less is more, as in Don Philpott's guide to Dominica,
St. Lucia, Martinique, Grenada, St. Vincent, and the Grenadines;
camping, festivals, sports, shopping, restaurants, and whale
watching. A small Grenadine island such as Bequia would get
short shrift, if it got any mention at all, but Philpott not
only includes it, he tells when the ferries sail and how much
they cost. Philpott describes the Windward Islands so well,
it's tempting to extend the vacation and check out a few more
islands while you're there." |
