Definitely a crucial tool for visiting the region !

For a long time, I had been trying to figure out how exactly the Caribbean is 'laid out'. There are so many different independent nations, as well as colonial entities, overseas departments of France, etc. etc., all with their own character, different cultures and mentalities, different things to be discovered... But it was altogether to figure it all out, and even to clearly list down the various separate entities to be visited and discovered. Finally, with the aid of this wonderful Lonely Planet guidebook, I am able to establish that the Caribbean's small islands (i.e. excluding Cuba, Jamaica, Purto Rico, Haiti and Dominican Republic) include a total of 9 independent nations and 10 colonial entities. This guidebook covers most of them, namely those in the Eastern part of the Caribbean, and provides wonderful insights into the culture, history and attractions of each. As always, excellent travel advice is provided, ranging from what to do locally for having a great holiday (regardless of what you are looking for), to the also important issue of how to move around in this wonderful region. This guidebook is a tool everyone should pack in their luggage.

This book covers an array of destinations in the caribbean and does this concisely and informatively without taking away the expectation of when you go. It allows you to plan your trip on it's content and also use it when you are there as a guide. It does not overload you with information, which is great, good to read cover and cover and then skim when needed. great for what it is!
