The Original Guide to Micronesia,
By David Stanley (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Micronesia Handbook (Micronesia Handbook, 4th ed) (Paperback)
As the author of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd editions of this handbook, I'm very familiar with the subject matter and am pleased to see how Neil Levy has developed and improved the guide. All 70 maps are now computer-generated and printed in two colors. Neil has broadened the scope to include more information on the upscale facilities, while expanding the ecological discussions. As a companion to my own guide Moon Handbooks South Pacific it's unmatched, and I recommend it to both travelers and serious students of Micronesia.

Micronesia Travel,
This review is from: Moon Handbooks Micronesia (Paperback)
Great overview for the traveler to Micronesia. I changed my travel plans on which islands to visit based on the information in this book. The only drawback is, and this is true for all travel books, information becomes outdated quickly and so this one needs an update.

HAPPY TRAVELS IN PARADISE,
By Joseph H. Race "Jose Mango" (SAIPAN, MP United States) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Moon Handbooks: Micronesia (5th Ed.) (Paperback)
An excellent general travel review of the Micronesian islands. There's so much to see and do in paradise, that it's hard to cover everything in one volume covering over thousands of islands (you can either count at high or low tide) and many, many square kilometers of pristine, and sometimes wild, open ocean. I enjoyed the layout, maps, food and drug choices,and listing some of the more signiciant sights, along with a touch of the local languages and customs. I recommend it for any traveller going through, especially if you ride on the Continental island hopper, and get off at each major airport for a 2-3 days visit. The book is also hardy and fits nicely in a packsack. Good job, Author Levy.
