As a rule, a handbook, or any sort of reference book, doesn't come in the thriller class, but Pacific Publications, with half a century behind it of digging deeply in the Pacific Islands, has managed to produce two volumes as full of interest as they are of facts and figures.
Papua New Guinea and Fiji, the leading Island countries in the South Pacific, are develop ing rapidly and are, therefore, worthy of close attention from business and commercial inter ests. The handbooks supply such people with all the necess ary details. For everyone else, the traveller, student sociol ogist, quiz-master, the hand books have it all, plus a supply of maps not to be found be tween any other covers.
The Papua New Guinea Handbook is in its 10th edition and has been brought very much up-to-date. The Fiji Handbook is the first published for eight years, and amply bridges that gap.
