The South Pacific is becoming a hot vacation destination for North American travelers, and Moon Handbooks is the leading provider of travel guidebooks to the region. From Tahiti and French Polynesia to Fiji and Samoa, you can count on the name Moon for unbiased travel advice.
Moon Handbooks South Pacific (ISBN 1566914116) is the original travel
guide to the Pacific islands. The 1st edition appeared in 1979, and in
November 2004 the 8th edition was published. Moon Handbooks South Pacific
is far more than just a guidebook – it’s a comprehensive reference work
with 1,091 fully indexed pages and 119 maps.
Moon Handbooks Fiji (ISBN 1566914973) describes and maps everyone’s
favorite South Pacific country. The current 7th edition covers more
islands and reviews more places to stay and eat than any other travel
guide to Fiji. Scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, kayaking, hiking,
beaches – it’s all there.
Moon Handbooks Tahiti (ISBN 1566914124) is the premier travel guide to
French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, and Easter Island. From the rugged
shores of the Marquesas to mysterious Easter Island, Moon Handbooks
Tahiti’s 431 pages and 56 maps provide Pacific travelers with far more
candid advice than competing single country guides.
Right from the start, all three handbooks have been researched by Canadian
author David Stanley. In 1979 Stanley began his travel writing career with
Moon Handbooks South Pacific, and since then he has written guides to
Micronesia, Alaska, Yukon, Canada’s Maritime Provinces, Eastern Europe,
and Cuba. Excerpts and photos from his South Pacific guides are posted on
http://www.southpacific.org and http://www.pacific-pictures.com while his
Cuba travel photos appear on http://www.cuba-pictures.com
A generation of independent travelers have followed Moon Handbooks through
the Pacific islands, and the Moon guides continue to repay their purchase
price many times over.
