Fiji Travel Guide Books
Fiji Handbook - Moon Travel Handbooks (6th ed., 2001)
Very informative and in-depth guide for the independent traveller, good maps, sketches and b/w pictures.
Recommended
Fiji - Lonely Planet (4th ed., 1998)
Lots in the way of accommodation but rather bland and unimaginative account. Colour pictures.
