From Library Journal There seems to be a growing number of travel guides to Cuba in English; here are two more to add to the list. The thorough Traveler’s guide is printed on slick paper and lavishly illustrated with excellent maps of regions and cities. It contains information on “Top Spots” to see, activities (backpacking, swimming, shopping, touring, etc), the country’s history, and miscellaneous “Travelers’ Tips” (on passports, money, tipping, and other useful information). Cuba is a cheaper, lighter, Canadian publication that contains much the same information as the Traveler’s book. It is well written but is printed on inferior paper stock; in addition, the maps lack clarity, and the paragraph on American travelers contains some misinformation. The Traveler’s guide is highly recommended but Cuba is not essential.AGeorge M. Jenks, Bucknell Univ., Lewisburg, PA Copyright 1999 Reed
