About this title

From the Author

Amazon are to be congratulated for introducing the "look inside" feature for my book. The ability for potential customers to browse before buying is vital for a guide of this kind. Once people see the quality of the mapping, photos and layout and how much additional information is provided they can be confident they are getting their money's worth. Which is certainly true of Amazon's healthy discount. The book has already received two fantastic five star reviews. Thanks whoever you are.
