Back in 2020, we were asked to review a Galapagos guidebook, by Josef Litt.  Based in the Czech Republic, Josef is a keen diver and very passionate about the islands. 

We were quite amazed by the book.  Having had a close look at many Galapagos books over the years, this one really stood out.  It is comprehensive, dealing not only with the usual guide-book topics, but it is also broad in scope, addressing other issues not normally addressed in guidebooks.  It gives the reader a full 360-degree exposure to what Galapagos is all about.

While it comes across as  bit hefty if you’re planning on stuffing it into a side pocket of your day pack, we highly recommend it for anyone wanting to obtain a broad understanding of what really makes these islands tick.

Ever since we reviewed the book, we’ve come to know the author a bit better.  While he’s fully employed in a sector not related to Galapagos, he runs occasional dive trips there.  He recently informed us that his book is out of print and that he only has 30 or so copies remaining for sale. He added:  "The good news is that I can offer them signed if any would like that".
