A must have book!

If you have already been there, get this book for the pictures and memories it will forever rekindle.

Dominca, Land of Water

This photography book starts to do justice to what is one of the most beautiful places on earth. I can return to Dominica whenever I want by viewing the photos.

Pretty but Over-priced

I'm on my way to Dominica as I write. Jonathan Bird's book arrived in my hands too late to influence my plans, but it wouldn't have changed much. The pictures are lovely, especially the under-water shots, but the text is less than meager. This is a photo album, not in any way a guide to Dominica either for a tourist or for an aesthetic traveler. I "humbly" expect to take photos on land that will match Mr. Bird's technically, and will have more meaning in the form of resonance with my memories of the actual places. The under-water pictures are beyond my skill, and earn the four stars I'm giving this book.

Dominica: Land of Water

I thought this book was fantastic. It is concise, well illustrated, and accurate. Anyone buying this book will have to travel to the island to see the wonderful sites for themselves. I think this is the best single photographic guide to Dominica. MG

A gem, like the island it honors

This is a great book for: 1. Anyone who loves great photography 2. Anyone interested in seeing or visiting one of the most beautiful, unspoiled islands in the Caribbean and 3. Divers and snorkellers. Jon Bird shares his stunning photographs taken above and below the sea on this little-travelled jewel in the Caribbean. Having been there a few times myself, I was still amazed by the breadth of ocean wildlife shown in the book. If you can't go to Dominica yourself (an experience I highly recommend as well), check this book out to see land and sea scapes you won't find anywhere else in the Caribbean.
