Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The first time I bought this book was at a high end department store and they only had one. I meant to take it to the UK as a Xmas gift but I ended up keeping it for myself ! Then, duh, I thought "Amazon". So I also ordered it for my travel crazy Texas friends with whom I have visited a few of the places in the book. Illustrations are gorgeous. Paper quality is top notch. Excellent source if you enjoy reading out loud to each other about "off the map" destinations. Well worth the money.

Everyone dreams of living on an island, perhaps for just a few days, or a month, a year or even forever... Islands fascinate us and fill us with wonder. Even just thinking about an island can give people pleasure. Roberto Rossellini and Ingrid Bergman loved Stromboli. Spielberg took Indiana Jones to the jungles of Sri Lanka. Jacques Brel sang the beauty of the Marquesas Islands. Princess Margaret found peace and tranquillity in Mustique. Marlon Brando and Paul-Emile Victor made their homes in Polynesia. Richard Branson and other modern-day adventurers have actually bought the islands of their dreams, renting them out or transforming them into island-hotels. Tiny islets or vast expanses, famous or secret, lush and tropical or bare and windswept, they all attract the traveler. This is a book for dreamers, for travelers, and for anyone who wants to learn about the history of these islands and open their minds to adventure, tropical sun, jungles, lagoons, forgotten creeks and fabulous hotels.
