I bought this book about a year ago and it has become the family bible! My husband and I have visited 3 islands so far and the write ups have been spot on, the father-in-law is on about islands number 8 and also agrees that the write-ups are excellent. If we had to criticise anything, it would be that the book is now slightly out of date, if you check the internet you'll find that some that are listed as Italian only resorts are now taking British visitors and some have had name changes so it gets a little confusing.
Regardless of this, the book is hugely informative and well worth buying, if only for the memories of where we've been!
