1.0 out of 5 stars Adventure Guide to Anguilla, Antigua, St. Barts, St. Kitts,, January 29, 2002

By	David Williams (Overland Park, KS United States) - See all my reviews

I am sorry but this was worthless. All the information in this book is on the internet. This book brings no value to a traveler going to any of these locations.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy Frommers or Fodors instead, March 7, 2003

By A Customer

I was very disappointed with this guide book. I've bought a lot of guidebooks and have never seen one as general as this one. The information contained in Fodors or Frommers big Carribean books give better coverage to St. Kitts which is what I was interested in learning about.

1.0 out of 5 stars Search the web instead, January 13, 2003

By	Eric J Lepping (Doylestown, PA United States) - See all my reviews

I read the review that said this book was worthless and chose to ignore it - mistake! You can definitely find all of this information, plus a whole lot more, via the few websites and message boards about Anguilla. Buy a book to read on your trip instead!
