The islands book

Islands are a source of fascination for every traveller. And there's an intoxicating variety of islands to explore: from storm-battered Faroes to the sort of tropical islands where long-gone pirates may have buried their treasure hauls. Following a similar format to The Travel Book, The Islands Book presents 150 of the world's most unique and enchanting islands, each notable for its history, wildlife or cultural qualities. All island profiles will feature a large, detailed map that pinpoints their points of interest plus beautiful photography. The cover will once again be illustrated by Whooli Chen and spot illustrations will appear throughout. Islands range from the San Juans off the USA to Codfish Island, last home of New Zealand's kakapo parrot.
