C.Baker's guide book helped as a real guide book should, it was full of detail on beaches, hotels, where to eat(not easy in a country where there are not many official restaurants), transport, and wildlife. By browsing this book I was able to make an informed decision about my itinerary in what is still a relatively closed country, and where information is sometimes confused and difficult to get(such as timetables and prices etc.)His enthusiasm for trying out the local sights and produce inspired me to travel more widely than I had expected and even half way through the holiday I was still looking up references to new places to go to "off-the-cuff" because the book recommended it. Baker was usually correct in most things especially reviews of whether a place or hotel was worth a visit, however since the time of writing the prices in all the Cuban establishments have gone up by at least 30-40% but this is a constant hazard of all travel writing. The outlines of history, people, events and sections on flora & fauna are encyclopaedic. If only all guide books were as comprehensive, but at 670 pages you have to make the concession of information over weight.

If you only bring one guide book with you on your trip to Cuba this should be it. It's extremely well written and packed full of useful information covering the whole island. Unlike most of the other guides available this one provides an accurate and balanced insight into life on the island.

Moon Handbooks are always very good, giving just that little bit more info and explanation.. like having a knowledgeable friend with you. The Cuba book is outstanding if you are not just sitting for 10 days at Varadero. Go now before "he" dies.
Of course in Cuba homes, rooms, restaurants, addresses places etc change very quickly but hey... get a Cuban girlfriend!
For a different viewpoint on Cuba, Castro and its history before you go do read MEA CUBA by INFANTE. All the disparities and unanswered questions will become clear.
You know the one about the Elephant in the room? Thats Cuba. Enjoy.

The complete guide to Cuba - and I mean complete!
This book is not for the faint hearted - at 700 odd pages it is heavy to carry and not meant for flipping through
