Comprehensive coverage of both the US and British Virgin Islands, including St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix, Tortola, Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke, and more. Intriguing historical, ecological, and cultural facts bring the islands and their residents to life, while practical information smoothes the way for a stress-free vacation. Extensive coverage of the islands' protected natural areas both on land and underwater. This signature Hunter series targets travelers eager to explore the destination. Extensively researched and offering the very latest information, Adventure Guides are written by knowledgeable, experienced authors.

This review is from: The Virgin Islands (Adventure Guide to the Virgin Islands) (Paperback)
Out of date. Not a lot of information on each of the islands. It is also a pretty bulky book for having such little info.

What happened to the first four editions, April 16, 2001

This review is from: The Virgin Islands (Adventure Guide to the Virgin Islands) (Paperback)
I've been using Harry S. Pariser's Adventure Guide to the Virgin Islands in its previous editions, but this is not it. This is a completely new book, but one which is skimpy on background information and other features which made his such a joy to use. This book is just not the same."
