Avalon Travel Publishing announces the release of the 7th
edition of Moon Handbooks Fiji, the original travel guide
to the 322-island Fiji archipelago.

Since 1985, Moon Handbooks Fiji has been the leading
travel guidebook to Fiji. Author David Stanley began
writing about the South Pacific in 1979, and over the
years tens of thousands of Pacific travellers have used
his guides to Fiji, Tahiti, Tonga, Samoa, and the South
Pacific.

Unlike the maps in other guidebooks which contain
confusing numbered keys, the 53 maps in Moon Handbooks
Fiji are clearly labelled. To allow for detail, three maps
of Fiji's capital Suva are included, and two of the
gateway city Nadi.

In this 7th edition, all local telephone numbers are
increased from six digits to seven, reflecting a recent
change by Telecom Fiji. Internet and email addresses are
now embedded in the listings for ease of reference.

Rob Kay of FijiGuide.com has this to say about Moon
Handbooks Fiji: “Packed with great maps it also has
resources such as a comprehensive bibliography, and tips
on local etiquette. More importantly, Stanley excels at
getting accurate information on hotels, inexpensive
restaurants and tourist sites. However there is another
reason why his guide is valuable. Stanley does not simply
list the properties in alphabetical order and expect the
reader to determine what's best. Based on personal
visits and feedback from visitors, he will actually offer
you an opinion and the straight facts.”

Priced at US$17.95, this book is distributed in the United
States by Publishers Group West, in Canada by Publishers
Group Canada, in Europe by HI Marketing, and in Australia
and New Zealand by Bookwise International. For more
