1: Ok, but not perfect
As far as travel guides go this one is not bad. You are provided with facts, hotels, places to eat, and etc. However, the guide does little to help make suggestions on things that you MUST do in order to maximize your trip...there are no example daily itineraries or "don't miss activities".
AS others have pointed out there is much less detail given on St. John. Part of this is do to St. John being much less populated and developed. If you are spending multiple days on St. John you may need an additional travel guide.
What you are given is a collection of interesting facts that will help you enjoy your trip.
My suggestions -
Snorkel a Secret Harbor
Visit St. John's Trunk Bay
Eat at "The Herve"
Eat at the all-you can-eat buffet on Wednesday night at the Marriot's CoCo Joe's
if you are into Jewelry - bring some extra $$$ for the (alleged) deals in Charlotte Amalie

2: good travel book
I bought this book as a bridal shower gift for a couple who had planned to honeymoon in the area. They raved about the book both before they went and after they returned from the islands. They went in mid Sept 07.

3: The Best of St. Thomas and St. John,U.S. Virgin Islands
The book was some what informative. The price of taxis in the islands is very high.Coral world was not what I thought it would be as in the book.There was nothing there.I don't know when the author was in the Virgin Islands last, but there are things I would not recomend.Like shopping for jewlery and other things were very expensive. We were in the Islands from 7/29/07 to 8/05/07. We were told this was their off season maybe this is why things cost more. Overal the book did give some usefull tips.Ann Morris

4: so so
The information is good, and seems thorough, but the presentation is lacking...not a single photo, and the maps look juvenile.
