gnomemad 11:58 UTC 29 Jan 2014 | Does anyone know a decent Micronesia Travel Guide Book? It's ridiculous that I have to post on the lonely planet travel forum looking for a guide book, but since the lonely planet doesn't seem to be covering the lonelier parts of the planet anymore, I need one. I have the LP South Pacific book from 2006, but was hoping for something a little more recent. I'm looking for something that covers FSM, Marshall Islands, Yap and Palau. Thanks! |

I might add that the last edition of LP's Micronesia guide is also pretty good. Of course those old guidebooks must be used along with some research for up to date practical info - the internet makes that easier today then back when those books were publushed. | 2
