Customer Reviews: Read 3 more reviews... Good book but big July 23, 2007 Rene B. Faerch (Copenhagen, Denmark) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful In general this is a good book and it seems up to date. For Havana this book is better than the Lonely Planet and has better maps and more information about things and places to see. The downside is the size. For me the Lonely Planet book could have done the job alone and it was only half the size of the this one. Not an easy to use book June 6, 2007 N. Sahbti (International) 4 out of 4 found this review helpful It was the first time I used a Moon Handbook for my traveling. The information in this book is good but is not arranged in a convenient way for a traveler. Maps are not easy to use and not detailed, on top of that they are scattered around the book making it uncomfortable to flip from one to another. The history and background of Cuba is good and detailed but adds weight to the book which will significantly affect your small backpack (I would have paid extra to have the book in two sections). The best travel book available for ALL you need in Cuba May 26, 2007 Mr. J. Baillie (Little Rock,ARKANSAS USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This up to date and concise travel guide covers absolutely everything you would need to know about Cuba- the poeple,economy,goverenment,where to go ,what to see and how to do everything and what not to do.Unbelievably complete in every way.Forget Fodors or Frommers-this is all you will need. J Baillie, USA. Amazing detail! May 12, 2007 S. Mueller 6 out of 6 found this review helpful I heard this author interviewed recently by Rick Steves and his unbridled enthusiasm for Cuba (as it is today) really tempted me to go. His book gives advice about places to see if you only have a limited time (and, as tourists, we only have limited time) and the considerations for Americans about how to go legally are very practical. The book has web sites to use to reserve the required first 3 nights in Cuba and tips on where to stay, what the currency is, and all the things you'd want to know about any first-world country ... and he adds honest comments about the poor infrastructure and the poverty in the country. Good Job March 8, 2007 Hammockman (Dayton, Ohio) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful I've literally been around the world backpacking with Lonely Planet guides and like them a lot for budget travel. This is my first experience with Moon and I like this one better. I also ordered the Lonely Planet Cuba guide at the same time and they were released in October and November, '06 so they're comparable in that sense. The Moon is a little heavier which is a consideration if you're traveling light, but that's not insurmountable.
