Moon Handbooks Baja by Joe Cummings
..."I purchased the lonely planet book first, then misplaced it. Then I found this book and i have to say it is much better.
The history, natural history and other tidbits included made me that much more excited about traveling in Baja.
Not to mention it is more thoroughly written, better descriptions of destinations and how to get there.
I feel this book will better prepare me for the trip. As others have already mentioned it's not just a great book on Baja, its a superbly written travel book in general..."

..."This book was quite enjoyable for anyone who has ever (or thought about it) kayaked in Baja.
The book has a nice selection of photos and maps of the Baja region and should certainly be included in your "Baja library."
I can certainly recommend this book..."
