Customer Reviews:

'My husband and I spent a fabulous three weeks in Dominica in March/April. We used your book extensively. It was really helpful and spot on with all the information. Thanks.'
Jos Sewell

Excellent guide to a truly remarkable island

I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the information in the 2nd edition Dominica guide book by Paul Crask.  It was very easy to follow and amazingly thorough and accurate.  We will be sure to check out Bradt guides for our future trips.

Yesterday I received my copy of Dominica "part deux" straight from the UK, there was no way I was waiting for it to hit the shelves in Canada. To mark the occasion I slept in my back yard in a hennessy hammock that I purchased for the Wai'tukubuli trail and read my new favorite book by flash light. 

'I want to express my sincere appreciation for the guide you wrote on Dominica. My husband and I travel every few years and I always purchase a guide. Your guide is the first one that ever kept my attention; I read it from start to finish in preparation of our trip to Dominica. The guide will travel with us so we can find the hidden treasures you described so eloquently.My husband was concerned that 9 days in Dominica would be too many;I'm thinking we may just touch the surface!' 

'This is one of those rare books written by someone who knows Dominica personally. The author has broken down the island into regions, making it much easier to find out what's available nearby. Many of the trails and waterfalls are 'off the beaten path.' As Dominica is an unspoiled island not all of them are easy to access. He gives detailed directions to the sites, rates them on difficulty, and says whether a guide is really needed, and why. He also includes the usual Where to Stay and Where to Eat.This book is so informative that it is even featured on some of Dominica's official websites. If you only buy one book about Dominica, I recommend that you make it this one.' 

'The only guidebook that I've ever read that gives any kind of representation of Dominica that rings true. I am Dominica by birth...'
