Not a travel guide.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Turks and Caicos Islands: Lands of Discovery (Macmillan Caribbean Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking it could be used as a travel guide for my trip. Unfortunately it doesn't give enough detail in the vein of "go here, go there", nor does it make any recommendations of locations/activities. Furthermore, it doesn't give enough detail of attractions that are listed in the book. For instance, the story behind the Tiki Huts is hilarious and had I not learned it I wouldn't have bothered going (it involves a French game show and some mermaids). As a small picture book or for general history of the islands it's good, but I'd suggest alternatives of you want a guide book.
