Press Release Body = Avalon Travel Publishing announces the release of the 7th
edition of Moon Handbooks Fiji, the original travel guide to the 322-island Fiji archipelago.

Since 1985, Moon Handbooks Fiji has been the leading travel guidebook to Fiji.
Author David Stanley began writing about the South Pacific in 1979, and over the
years tens of thousands of Pacific travelers have used his guides to Fiji, Tahiti,
Tonga, Samoa, and the South Pacific.

Unlike the maps in other guidebooks which contain confusing numbered keys, the 53
maps in Moon Handbooks Fiji are clearly labeled. To allow for detail, three maps of
Fiji's capital Suva are included, and two of the gateway city Nadi.

In this 7th edition, all local telephone numbers are increased from six digits to
seven, reflecting a recent change by Telecom Fiji. Internet and email addresses are
now embedded in the listings for ease of reference.

Rob Kay of FijiGuide.com has this to say about Moon Handbooks Fiji: "Packed with
great maps it also has resources such as a comprehensive bibliography, and tips on
local etiquette. More importantly, Stanley excels at getting accurate information on
hotels, inexpensive restaurants and tourist sites. However there is another reason
why his guide is valuable. Stanley does not simply list the properties in
alphabetical order and expect the reader to determine what's best. Based on personal visits and feedback from visitors, he will actually offer you an opinion and the straight facts."
