The Ultimate Book on Bermuda!
As a first-time visitor to Bermuda, I was looking for a comprehensive book to learn about the island's history and culture. I was struck by this sophisticated volume - it stood out among the others for its beautiful look and feel, more like a fine 19th century guide for the well-heeled traveler. I found the watercolors alluring and then, as I scouted Bermuda, I realized that the artist had ...

Dead Reckoning

Jim J. Wilsky

Amazon, 2007

Timing is Everything
There are stories that are ponderous and meaningful. There are stories that are light and carefree. There are stories that are tedious and depressing. Then there are stories that you whip through (it's so easy to read), and at the end of it you nod, smile and say, "That was a neat story. That was a good story." Dead Reckoning IS the latter. It's a good, neat story. It is deft in its ...

Best Dives' Snorkeling Adventures : A Guide to the Bahamas, Bermuda, Caribbean, Hawaii & Florida Keys

Photographics Pub, 1998

A terrific book for vacation planning
This is the best book for snorkeling I've ever found. The other books are so vague, they don't tell me much of anything. This one describes all the neat places to walk in from the beach and go snorkeling, how rough or calm the area is, how to get to various snorkeling beaches once I get there, whether the kids can safely swim in each area. It also has all the resorts that have snorkeling ...

The Bermuda Triangle (Call of Cthulhu Horror Roleplaying, 1990s Era)

Chaosium Inc., 1998

A Great Modern-era Sourcebook for "Call of Cthulhu!"
I found this to be an excellent "modern-day" resource for the "Call of Cthulhu" role playing game. Fans of other settings for the game probably won't find it as interesting, or as useful, but if you like to play your "CoC" in the "here and now," this is definitely a must-have resource. Chaosium's summary text for this product reads: "What secrets lie within the Devil's Triangle? Why was the ...

William Glenn Robertson

Univ of Delaware Pr, 1987

Little Known Detail on the attempts to Capture Petersburg
Wonderful description of the Union successes in almost capturing the little protected Petersburg and the incredulous defense by Confederate forces against huge odds. This book has details on the campaign that actually starts from the Suffolk area where Union cavalry penetrate the lightly defended no man's land southeast of Petersburg outside of Suffolk that even today is lightly populated. The ...

Bermuda on a Budget

Print Link, 1997

A highly unusual and informative book.
My wife and I have been going to Bermuda for over fifteen years at least once and frequently twice a year. It is our home away from home and we really love it. We always stay at our Salt Kettle Cottages. There is our annual and close "family" we have acquired over the years through our owner, Hazel Lowe. Besides the overwhelming naturally beautiful scenery, it's people are it's real hidden ...

Worth its weight in sunken treasure
I spent two weeks in Bermuda, and was very glad I brought this book along with me. I doubt very much that there are many interesting corners of the country that have been overlooked by the authors of this guide -- some of which I never would have thought to investigate had this book not alerted me to their existence. I especially appreciated all the historical and cultural details, and ...

Bermuda A World Apart: An island and its people

4 reviews

Imagenes Pr, 1996

Magnificent!
Extraordinary photography, combined with intelligent, concise, even poetic text. I am English, but I have lived in Boston for many years. Bermuda is perhaps my favorite island--for its civility, its quiet beauty, a little touch of England in the middle of the Atlantic. This book captures Bermuda as I have seen no other book do ... perhaps because it focusses on the small things: the tiny ...

I have often wasted money by buying several travel guides for my trips abroad. This time, I wanted to buy only one for my four night trip to Bermuda. This Frommers guide turned out to be an excellent choice. It provides all the needed information about getting from the airport to your hotel/resort, getting around the island, places to stay, beaches, golf courses, the sights, restaurants, bars, ...

Great gift for the sailor in your life!
This year, 2006, marked the centennial of the classic Bermuda Race. When it was first sailed in 1906 from New York City, the Bermuda Race made the sea a playground by creating a new sport--ocean racing by amateur sailors in normal boats. Over the past 100 years, some 4,500 boats and 46,000 men and women have raced to Bermuda, most of them with little real hope of winning. We were there at the ...

I could hardly put it down
From the time that I started to read "With No Remorse..." I could hardly put it down. The story of the devilish Stephanie just drew me from page to page and I could not wait to know what the outcome would be. One of my mother's dearest friends lost a Canadian Air Force son over Malta during the 1939-1945 war, so I was especially interested to learn how the islanders had also suffered during this ...

Clear and Easy
This sturdy map will be used for years. The clear coating prevents that fuzziness from wear at the folds. The street listings will be useful for exploring the island on foot, and all the print is clear and easy to read. A must for visitors to Bermuda, well worth the price.

Fodor's, 1997

Excellent!!! All you need to plan your trip to Bermuda
Amazon's synopsis is right on. The book is thorough, concise. Covers every aspect of planning your trip, then is a constant companion while you're there--restaurant recommendations, sightseeing guide, good maps, guidance on finding the best beaches. I disagreed only with Fodor's take on the dress code. Guys, you don't really have to wear Bermuda shorts if you prefer other styles. And you won't ...

The insiders guide to walking in Bermuda
It is well worth searching out this handbook, which includes routes and maps for 20 walks covering the island of Bermuda. Many of the walks go through trails and neighborhoods that a visitor would otherwise never find. My favorites include the stunning view at Abbott's Cliff, and the quiet landscape at Hog Bay Park.

NWIDI Press, 2008

Graham Hancock + Cussler + scuba + archaeology = great read
Take a little of Graham Hancock's theories on Earth's ancient civilizations, mix in some Clive Cussler-type adventure and action, put on your scuba gear and grab your archaeological text books. Let me see...that's one part action, one part speculative fiction, one part underwater adventure, one part...aw, heck, don't classify it. Just read Triangle, the third and concluding novel in R. J. ...
