The South Pacific is becoming a hot vacation destination for North American travelers, and Moon Handbooks is the leading provider of travel guidebooks to the region. PR9.NET July 19, 2005 - Emeryville, CA - The South Pacific is becoming a hot vacation destination for North American travelers, and Moon Handbooks is the leading provider of travel guidebooks to the region. From Tahiti and French Polynesia to Fiji and Samoa, you can count on the name Moon for unbiased travel advice. Moon Handbooks South Pacific (ISBN 1566914116) is the original travel guide to the Pacific islands. The 1st edition appeared in 1979, and in December 2004 the 8th edition was published. Moon Handbooks South Pacific is far more than just a guidebook - it's a comprehensive reference work with 1,091 fully indexed pages and 119 maps. Moon Handbooks Fiji (ISBN 1566914973) describes and maps everyone's favorite South Pacific country. The current 7th edition covers more islands and reviews more places to stay and eat than any other travel guide to Fiji. Scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, kayaking, hiking, beaches - it's all there. Moon Handbooks Tahiti (ISBN 1566914124) is the premier travel guide to French Polynesia, the Cook Islands, and Easter Island. From the rugged shores of the Marquesas to mysterious Easter Island, Moon Handbooks Tahiti's 431 pages and 56 maps provide Pacific travelers with far more candid advice than competing single country guides. Right from the start, all three handbooks have been researched by Canadian author David Stanley. In 1979 Stanley began his travel writing career with Moon Handbooks South Pacific, and since then he has written guides to Micronesia, Alaska, Yukon, Canada's Maritime Provinces, Eastern Europe, and Cuba. Excerpts and photos from his South Pacific guides are posted on http://www.southpacific.org and http://www.pacific-pictures.com while his Cuba travel photos appear on http://www.cuba-pictures.com A generation of independent travelers have followed Moon Handbooks through the Pacific islands, and the Moon guides continue to repay their purchase price many times over. # # #
