1.A Small PlaceA Small Place
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $9.60

Customer Review:
Ignore the reviews laden with the white liberal guilt or the white liberal defensiveness. This book is about a struggling country that needs the money from the west to survive, yet at its heart wishes the west would just take its rude tourists and away. As tourists we refuse to see that we've... more info

2.The Rough Guide to Jamaica 4 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)The Rough Guide to Jamaica 4 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
from Rough Guides
Price: $13.59

Customer Review:
Our travel reading was limited to Frommer's, Moon, and Lonely Planet. After reading the reviews on this new source, we bit. I'm convinced the author's relatives must have provided the "positive" comments!
This guide might be helpful to the Jamaican backpacker who desires the "$8 a day... more info

from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:
This book is recommended by almost every Vodouisant I know, and with good reason. Zora gives a personal account of her travels through Haiti and Jamaica, and offers us a beautiful glimpse at Voodoo (Vodou) during the time that she was there. If you are serious about studying Vodou, this is a must... more info

from Frommers
Price: $9.89

Customer Review:
I grew up in Jamaica, but never really took advantage of the "tourist stuff" while there (who does that at home?). I found this book very helpful for sifting through all the many things the island had to offer and targeting the best (and most reasonably priced) restaurants, hotels, etc. on my last... more info

from Lonely Planet
Price: $13.59

Customer Review:
I am a longtime advocate of Lonely Planet guides, having first used them nearly 10 years ago on my travels through Africa and more recently in my Caribbean travels, as well as on jaunts to First World locales in Europe and the U.S. I have always found them to be well-researched and reasonably... more info

7.In the Land of the Blue Poppies: The Collected Plant-Hunting Writings of Frank Kingdon Ward (Modern Library Gardening)In the Land of the Blue Poppies: The Collected Plant-Hunting Writings of Frank Kingdon Ward (Modern Library Gardening)
from Modern Library
Price: $19.00

Customer Review:
We tend to take for granted the intrepid and brave explorers that brought us knowledge of far-off places and new plants and peoples. Reading Frank Kingdon Ward is like being part of his party as he nonchalantly climbs unknown, rugged mountains for the love of discovery. His endurance and bravery... more info

from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $11.90

Customer Review:
I was very excited to get this book, because I was under the impression that I was going to get to read some amazing writing. Well, it must be so amazing that it's over my head, because I was bored to tears. "A Really Big Lunch" is probably the most boring story I have ever read. The author spends... more info

10.Gone to New York: Adventures in the CityGone to New York: Adventures in the City
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $5.99

Customer Review:
The New York in Woody Allen's movies is beautiful but unreal, like a movie star who's never as stunning in real life as on screen. Ian Frazier's New York, on the other hand, is violent and dirty, but real.
These essays are arranged chronologically, from 1975 to 2005. (Oddly, there are no... more info
