This review is from: Falkland Islands: The Bradt Travel Guide (Paperback)
While most of the information in this book seems to be "borrowed" directly out of the official Falklands guide for tourists-available free on arriving in the Falklands, it is useful in planning out a visit to the Falklands and deciding what islands to visit.
