5.0 out of 5 stars Your Ticket to Fiji, 3 May 2005
By vagabond132 (traveling the globe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fiji (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fiji Handbook 6th Edition review, 31 May 2002
By A Customer
Feel the need to leave your trials and tribulations behind? Want to
forget the world and all its problems?

Then why not immerse yourself in Fiji? Get lost... in any one of 322
islands.

And what better way to be guided around this archipelago than with David
Stanley's 'Fiji Handbook'? Get the low down in this, the sixth, and
latest edition, containing all the know how you could possibly need for
island hopping . Getting there, getting around, on the road.
Accommodation, transport, food. Beaches, rainforests, coral
reefs.Diving, surfing, sailing. Culture, traditions, history. Whatever
your needs and wants, you'll find them all satisfied here.

If you like to get off the beaten track, avoid the tourist hordes and
get to know the real Fiji, then this is the book for you. Experience the
green garden island of Taveuni, relive the life of Somerset Maugham at
Levuka's Royal Hotel, suck up the atmosphere in Vanua Levu's
rainforests, enjoy jazz, country and western, Indian Curries or spicy
Sichuan in Suva or just laze on bleached white Yasawa Island beaches.

You won't find yourself surrounded by users of other travel guides I
could mention and you'll recoup the cover price before a Fijiian can say
"VINAKA". Get yourself to Fiji and don't forget to take the Fiji
Handbook with you!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Local's Guide to Fiji!, 6 Feb 2005
By E. Barrett-Power (Fiji) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Fiji (Moon Handbooks) (Paperback)
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.
