2 comments about Heroes Of The Revolution: American Cars And Cuban Beats.

1. It is a pity that a good photographic material is loost in a deficient printing. The paper is porous and it make photos look dim.



2. The Book and CD sound kind of gimmicky but rest assured both are great. When I ordered it I figured I'd get a cool book with neat old car photos and a lame-o CD. Not so! The music is very good! A fun item!

1. has something for everyone. treasure hunting. island living. pets. boating. rescue at sea. very genuine. well written.

   dave gale is a good story teller.




2. Excellent story about life in the Abacos. You truly get the feeling of what they were going through and how wonderful it was(is)and also of their struggles. A must read for anyone interested in the out islands.



3. Dave Gale has a lovely perspective not just on island life but on life as a whole. It's easy to think that a tropical paradise such as the Bahamas would simply provide a simple, idyllic existence, but as he describes it I was amazed at the richness and variation, hardships and quirky characters. All in all, a very enjoyable read.



4. The Bahamas and the Caribbean are a special passion for me so it comes as no surprise that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Having lived on an island before I can tell you that Dave Gales' accounts of island life are without question. Elbow Cay and the rest Abaco are some of the best Bahamas has to offer along with the other so called Out Islands. If you have ever wondered what it was or would be like to live on an island make this a part of your library.

1 comments about Insight Guide Caribbean Cruises (Insight Guides).

1. Insight Guides usually are good for preparation for a trip but not so good for the nitty gritty of the trip. In the case of Caribbean Cruises however, this book worked well to choose which things to target in our one day per island off the boat.

1 comments about Cuba in Mind: An Anthology.

1. Personally, this book answered the question, "Just what is it about that little island?" Cuba seems to captivate the collective imagination for its drama, romance and endurance. Cuba in Mind left me feeling that the stereotypes are all true, but there's much more and thank god for that! It's a satisfying read for anyone - from the academic to the cultural tourist.

1 comments about The West Indies on $50.00 A Day: Guesthouse Travel in the Caribbean.

1. Mike Hollywood's The West Indies On $50.00 A Day: Guesthouse Travel In The Caribbean is a superlative guide for enjoying an inexpensive, adventures, memorable vacation throughout the Caribbean. The key are the guesthouses and small inns of the Caribbean, places likely never recommended by travel agents or accessible to cruise ship based itineraries. Mike Hollywood draws upon his fourteen years of experience and expertise as president of Bimbo Limbo Travel Consultants to present a totally "user friendly" travel guide that avoids the glitzy and high-priced resorts, while allowing the traveler to become emersed in the people and culture of the islands first-hand. Planning a trip to the West Indies and constrained by budgetary considerations? Then The West Indies On $50.00 A Day is the guidebook for you!

1 comments about The Virgin Islands Cruising Guide.

1. Excellent detail charts of anchorages in BVI. Only complaint is the lack of a general chart of each island in the section describing that island. This is an editorial preference on my part. There is a chart index near the front of the guide which will get you there but it is not handy when you are in a hurry. I would recommend Pavlidis' guide to anyone planning on exploring the Virgin Islands.

2 comments about Fodor's Pocket Aruba, 3rd Editon (Pocket Guides).

1. This book is short and to the point of helpful information. My family has used it multiple times for vacations to Aruba and it has been helpful for each vacation. The information is accurate and concise in its description of the island.



2. We found Fodor's and Frommer's travel books to possess the best of information on Aruba. My husband Alan stated he didn't feel like a novice coming into this lovely tropical paradise thanks to these guides.
   
   The books were pretty right on when it came to restaurant prices, only a few had varied their charges. One restaurant was a nice surprise as we were expecting to pay twice as much.
   
   To add to the information, besides the buses running to the capital city of Oranjestad, they also have $1.00 taxis and these vans function well when you don't want to wait for the next bus. Oranjestad is a must visit for shopping, eating and touring.
   
   The books also didn't include the native poverty that exists beyond the resorts and touring areas. Few Arubans own a decent hacienda. This was a shock to my husband and me as we were expecting to see average living styles.
