New Guidebook to the Islands of Belize Published as Free eBook



A new travel guidebook to Ambergris Caye, Caye Caulker and Belize's8217;s other islands has been published, and for a limited time it's8217;s available free as a downloadable eBook.



San Pedro Cool is a 193-page guide to Ambergris Caye by Lan Sluder, a veteran travel writer who has authored a half dozen other books on Belize. The travel guide also covers Caye Caulker and the offshore cayes and atolls. It has a bonus section on living, retiring or investing in Belize. It's8217;s available as a free download from http://www.belizefirst.com. Anyone with an Internet connection and Adobe Acrobat Reader can view or print the pdf-format book.



The new guidebook, the only travel guide devoted exclusively to Belize'ss cayes, contains no advertising. It candidly reviews and rates, on a star system, nearly all of the hotels, resorts and restaurants on the cayes. The guide also covers tours, transportation and other travel information. The original San Pedro Cool, published in 2002 by Equator Publications, sold thousands of copies at US$14.95. The new edition is totally revised, updated and greatly expanded. It has new maps of San Pedro and Ambergris Caye and many photos of the island.



The idea behind making the guide a free download for a limited time is to encourage readers to provide feedback on the book before it is published in a final version, according to the author.'s8220;The only 's8216;catch's8217; is that we ask readers who use the book to send us corrections, suggestions for improvements, things I's8217;ve left out, or just general feedback,'s8221; said Sluder.



Sluder is the author of Living Abroad in Belize, Belize First Guide to Mainland Belize, Fodor's8217;s Belize (set to be published by Fodor/Random House in Fall 2006) and other books. He is editor of the on-line magazine, Belize First, at http://www.belizefirst.com and has contributed articles on Belize and other destinations to many newspapers and magazines, including Caribbean Travel & Life, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Miami Herald and Canada's8217;s Globe & Mail. Sluder has been covering Belize as a writer and reporter for more than 15 years and has visited San Pedro many times.
