Title: An excellent guide to the strangest of islands
Review: An excellent guide containing all the practical info you need. The newest edition includes a few extra loose-leaf pages with updates on current conditions, since the original book is from the late 80's. What is especially useful is the maps and descriptions of the most important archeological sites, such as Ranu Raraku and Orongo. It is strongly recommended that you study this and other books as much as possible before any visit to Easter Island, since it will give you a much deeper travel experience (for a lot of detail, specifically regarding the Rano Raraku quarry site, the rongorongo script, and local legends, have a look at another excellent publication, Routledge's 'The Mystery of Easter Island'). In general this guide book does need a new edition with a new layout, but these are details; it is still a must for all travellers to the island...
