Title : National Audubon Society Field Guide to Tropical Marine Fishes of the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, Florida, the Bahamas, and Bermuda
Author : C.Lavett Smith
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Indespensible
As a diver and as a hobbyist of home reef systems, I find this book to be indispensible in identifying various reef fishes located in our Eastern waters. The book provides and focuses on distiguishing characteristics and certain behaviors that a diver or a hobbyist might see in encounters with these fish. Contains a great full-color plate section as well as basic outlines/silhouettes and of course brief yet detailed descriptions. An excellent work, now if I could just find its companion for corals....

Title : Brit's Guide to Orlando and Walt Disney World
Author : Simon Veness
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Fantastic book, fabulous backup
This year will be our first visit to Orlando.I bought this booked having had it recommended by several people and it has proved to be just as good as they all said it was. What they didn't tell me was about all the extra information and customer service that comes with it!
Apart from all the information written about in the other reviews, there are web site links given in the book with forums specifically for British visitors to Orlando and the opportunity to purchase a Personalised Itinerary for £10. I went ahead with this (thinking I could risk £10 if it didn't turn out to be any good) and the information and communication, directly from the book's author, has been second to none.
I have never recommended a book before and I can't recommend this one highly enough. It is a planner's dream.

Title : A Brit's Guide to Orlando
Author : Simon Veness
Rating : 5 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Don't travel without it...
Bought this gem before I had a holiday of the lifetime with the kids. Can't rate it high enough. There is a mass of information in here that can be a little bewildering, but thats not the books fault, its just what orlando is like, but it is spot on. Did disney and universal following the suggestions and got on all the rides we wanted to and avoided any disappointed children. Plan ahead and get in the parks early. My copy got wet on a ride at universal so I WILL be buying another copy for next time. Any chance of a book covering the West Coast?

Title : A Brit's Guide to Orlando
Author : Simon Veness
Rating : 2 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Dissapointed
We were going to Orlando for our honeymoon didn't want to waste a moment. We read this book organised ourselves before we got there. This is the 2006 edition but there are addresses that are wrong (eg: Sky Venture is on totally different road we only came across it by chance 5 days after we wanted to do it (the best experience ever-highly recommended)) prices are wrong some of the reviews on 'other attractions' were way off the mark (sounded great but were a waste of time money when you got there).
Good book but don't take it as gospel.

Title : The Rough Guide to Florida (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
Author : Mark Ellwood
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : Rough with some smooth edges
Unusually for a travel-guide, I managed to read the 'Rough Guide to Florida' from beginning to end. For this fact alone, I must applaud the author for keeping me entertained with informative and interesting snippets of information.
The communication style of the book is in-keeping with the, now well-established, format of the 'Rough Guide' series, being concise and honest in it's appraisal of the area(s) reviewed.
If I have to make a critical comment, it would be that it appears that the author is rather biased towards Miami, with the detail being more exhaustive for this area than any other part of Florida. This seems rather strange seeing that there is a 'Mini Rough Guide to Miami and The Florida Keys' as part of the same series.
My advice, do not make the same mistake as me and buy both, but buy this one!

Title : Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to Universal, Sea World and the Best of Central Florida (Beyond Disney: The Unofficial Guide to Universal, SeaWorld, the Best of Central Florida)
Author : Bob Sehlinger
Rating : 4 Stars out of 5.
Summary : A good partner with The Unofficial Guide....
While we only timetabled in to visit Seaworld and Discovery Cove, this book was instrumental in making this choice. Having two children we didn't want to waste time and money on parks where they would be disappointed at height restrictions or nightmare ridden from rides that terrified them. This book helped us make a firm decision to miss out a few parks until they are older. Thus saving us money and tears and stress. Although I am wondering if I can sneak off by myself to the US to go to the other parks...
