3.0 out of 5 stars Great photographs & history. Not a detailed travel guide., June 8, 1999

By A Customer

The photographs are excellent, sharing the Bahamian lifestyle with the viewer. For those that do in-depth research prior to their travels, this is informative covering history and major sites. Highly recommend for the interesting coverage of sites. Not detailed enough for the actual trip planning. Worth the purchase for those who want more then the basic go see this and go do that.
