Recenzii

I cannot praise this excellent little guide too highly.
If you're planning a trip it is invaluable, but it's also a beautiful book to look at on a rainy day in the UK!
If you take just one book to Jamaica, make sure this is it.
...wealth of new data garnered...makes it inherently valuable for the updated distribution maps (far superior to anything previously available for this endemic-rich island) and status details alone.
...it would be a mistake not to have it with you on a visit.
