The latest in the batch of Moon Handbooks releases proves again that Moon is one of the finest travel series around. What sets Moon apart from most guidebooks is the attention to detail, and more importantly, a respect for the topic.

Who can fit 322 islands into one book of 400 pages? David Stanley, author of MOON HANDBOOKS FIJI, can. It contains all the information, ALL the information, about Fiji. How much is your time worth? It would take you forty time forty hours of online searching to gather about one-fortieth of the information that is in this book. And the information in the book is--drum roll--organized! In fact, it is marvelously organized, which is no surprise, because this is the seventh completely updated edition of this essential guidebook to Fiji.
It is also exquisitely composed. Computers have enhanced the publishing process, but Stanley and his colleagues at Avalon Travel publishing company have tended to the old-fashioned perfection of composition--typesetting, proofreading, indexing, pagination, illustration, layout.
You'll use this book three times, to plan the trip, to enjoy the trip, and to relive and retell the trip.
Going to Fiji without this guidebook would be like going to history class without your textbook, except class only lasts one hour. If you are planning to spend a week or more in Fiji, use this book as your menu for a luscious experience. It is indispensable.

"VINAKA". Get yourself to Fiji and don't forget to take the Fiji
Handbook with you!

As is clear by the other comments posted by reviewers before me, David Stanley's Fiji Handbook is THE definitive travel guide to Fiji, in which he tells it like it is (the good, the bad, and everything in-between). However, the real test of a good guidebook is whether a local would recognise his or her country in its pages, and whether it is a useful resource not just for the transient visitor but also for the people who actually live there. Well, I live and work in Fiji, and today I used David Stanley's book to a) find the telephone number of a diving company in Lautoka, b) choose an outer island accommodation in the Yasawas for a friend who will be visiting next week, c) get the maritime coordinates for the Lau Group, and d)photocopy a map of Nadi town. Even allowing for the fact that guidebooks are almost always a little out of date even before they go to print, each edition of the Moon Fiji guidebook is always the most referenced book in my library for all things Fiji-related. Let this guide be your compass in Fiji--you can always trust it to steer you in the right direction.
