Better than the Lonely Planet guide
) and the Lonely Planet guide (Sainsbury, 4th ed. I bought both the Moon Handbook (Christopher Baker, 4th ed. ). I haven't been to Cuba, but the Moon guide is a pleasure to read, it's nearly twice the length of the Lonely Planet guide, the maps are better, it goes into more depth on places and also on the general history, the photos are better, etc. .

Extensive and a Great Primer for Trip
The guide is engaging and appears to be the least biased of Cuba travel guides. A great beginning read for planning a trip over the next few months. The writers' voice appears to be geared more toward the American then European Westerner. , ie. , the author's description of Veradero Beach area as a Cancun for Europeans is on point, especially after seeing pictures of the area on various travel websites.
It's a thick book and I'm hoping to not have to bring it with me to Cuba as I plan to travel light. Plan on Xeroxing pages and marking places of interest.
The Explore Cuba Itineraries at the beginning of book were helpful.
