The author of this guide has a comprehensive knowledge of French Polynesia as a long term resident. The book is well organized and covers most every topic that concerns a potential visitor. However my copy of the book was written in 2005 and it is likely prices quoted are considerably out of date due to inflation and global currency fluctuations.
I hope a new edition will be written shortly. If there is one, it could benefit from much more detailed maps showing the precise locations of accomodations and points of interest. Since many people arrive in French Polynesia by boat, some nautical maps would also be highly useful. A new edition should also contain more photos.

Its really good book with full of information about all islands, but...
very thick and heavy. I had holiday in Bora Bora only, so I used only small part of this thick book, but i found all information. I think better have small one about only Bora Bora or other islands for example.
There are no any photos in book. But, you can read about history of Tahiti, about culture and etc.

Fantastic Book. I have read it over and over. I love Jan Prince's stories about the local people. Jan knows Tahiti better than anyone I have ever met in French Polynesia in the last 30 years. I have been back to Tahiti over 53 times since my first trip there in 1975. I use her book to plan my visits. Great advice. This book is a must read if you are going to Tahiti and her islands. Maururu to Jan.

This book is written by Jan Prince who is an ex-pat American that has lived in the islands since the 1970's. I found the layout, information and light-hearted manner of writing essential to planning my trip to Tahiti. I looked at many other guides on the Tahitian Islands and none of them seemed as informative or easy to read. Highly recommended.

This is a must for anyone traveling to tahiti. I bought it after I had already booked my trip. But, I wish I had it before booking, because it gives hotel reviews and activities. I still used it to plan some of my activities while there.
