Good info but not always accurate3
We recently came back from St Thomas and used "The Best of ..." while I found that there is a lot of good and usefull information in the book I also found that many of the phone numbers and locations were incorrect. This was a bit of a pain, but all in all I found the book most usefull. I would definitely recommend it for the first time visitor. Just use the yellow pages for phone numbers. This text refers to the previous printing of this title.

For New Comer's2
This book provides very basic information on St. Thomas and limited information on St. John. The 1st timer to these islands may find this information helpful, however, most of what is included can be found in other sources which are readily available elsewhere. Other than the beautiful picture of Trunk Bay on the cover, the book provides no other pictures. Which, in my opinion, is a shame because the real magnificence of these islands would be better conveyed through some select pictures and not just text alone.

A must-read if you're planning to visit St. Thomas5
I purchased and read this book before our trip to the US Virgin Islands, and I am very glad I did! Pamela Atcheson has compiled an extremely informative book on things to do, places to eat, where to shop, etc. Thanks to her advice, we dined happily every night, visited St. John via the ferry (a highlight of the trip), and made some unique purchases. Plus, it was fun to find places I had read about while I was planning our trip!

This book is everything you need in one resource.
