Product Description
A mountain range rising from the sea, Corsica holds the most arrestingly beautiful landscapes in the Mediterranean. From its cobalt blue gulfs and shell-sand beaches, hillsides of evergreen maquis give way to pristine oak, chestnut and pine forests, awesome gorges, alpine lakes and a spine of snow-streaked peaks and passes. Among the many trails that penetrate its remotest corners, the GR20, following the island's watershed, is a high-level route that has won an international reputation as being Europe's most challenging long-distance path.
35 detailed trekking maps - showing walking times, places to stay and points of interest, with detailed route descriptions for the entire GR20
Practical information - planning your trip; travelling to Corsica from other parts of Europe, North America and Australasia; getting to the trailheads; historical and cultural background; what to see; health and safety; minimizing your impact on the environment; French and Corsican language sections
Accommodation and restaurants - reviews of places to stay and eat at all budgets, from luxury heritage hotels to the pick of Corsica's gites, hostels and restaurants
Gateway towns - comprehensive guides to Ajaccio, Bastia and Calvi
Corsican flora - full-color photo guide to the island's flora

Not sure who I bought the book from, but it arrived easily enough. The book's very good, but the author obviously tried at a slower rate than me. By the end of the walk I was dead on my feet (which were already dead).
I did the GR20 in May, lots of snow but had whole days to ourselves, would recommend that. Even in May the heat was occasionally too much.
When there's no snow it's true that you don't need the proper maps (which I carried), but should you wish to improvise, or just better understand the route ahead, get the IGN 25000.
