This fourth edition has been fully revised and incorporates new information collected from her visits to each of the archipelagos during 2003. It contains new plans, many necessitated by the surge in marina building, particularly in the Canaries, since the publication of the last edition. Many new colour photographs have been added. The standard production has been improved by the full use of colour and clearer definition of the island sections and references between them. Atlantic Islands is the only serious guide to the island groups and is an essential companion for yachts making the Atlantic passage. -- INDICE -- Foreword. Acknowledgements.
