Inside this book is nicely done in red and black writings.

The red color announces important places or the names of Establishments.This makes it very , very easy to find what your searching for inside this book. The red draws you right to that paragraph you need.

I have been to the Bahamas before ---so I am not looking for directives for every little thing to do or see on the many , many islands that make up the Bahamas.....this is the perfect guide to replace my older one. I may jump on a plane for a few days vacation....maybe to a island in the Bahamas that I haven't been to yet...and I will have no fear.....because with this smallish sized volume--it will not weigh down my luggage...or my carry on bag and I will be able to look up in moments the name of the restaurant or taxicab or museum I want to visit on my trip.

Thats exactly why I bought this volume.

Just to have it on hand.

A disappointing book. I've been to the Bahamas many times and needed up-to-date info on changes since my last visit in 2003. This book was of little help.
