[.ca] Lonely Planet Cuba (ISBN 8408036394)

compact and comprehensive:
I wrote the first and second editions of this book, and although the third edition has been prepared by Conner Gorry, I feel it's still the best all-round guide to Cuba. It's compact and comprehensive, although the small typeface on the maps is a problem. I suggest that you make enlarged photocopies of the maps you know you'll be using before leaving home. And if you'd like to see some of my Cuba travel photos from earlier editions of Lonely Planet Cuba, they're on www.cuba-pictures.com together with brief introductions to the regions.
