If I had gone on holiday (Ikaria, Fourni, Samos and Patmos) without this book I would have missed all the fun. Facaros not only knows her stuff, but loves Greece and its joie de vivre and can't help making the reader love it too. No other book I found pinpoints the essence of the islands. The taverna and room recommendations were spot on, the history and mythology section fascinating and made me hungry for me. Full marks.

Having now gone through the process of moving to New Zealand and read all the books, I can say that this is the best to read. The book is well set out with good sections on things like pensions, health, telephones and work. I think that it describes the areas of New Zealand well The description on New Zealand television is true - it really is very bad! The book only skips over the immigration process and that is a good thing. The rules change every year so it is better to go to the New Zealand Immigration Service website for up to date information. My advice to anyone is read this book but if you want to live here for goodness sake come on a holiday first. You need to experience it and I can honestly say it has many benefits but it sure isn't ... Read More:

This is not the most complete book on living and working in Portugal but deserves full marks for what it is, a very clear and concise guide. It was my first read on the matter and gave me an excellent starting point. Specially good are the chapters Portugal Today and Living in Portugal. I strongly recommend it to anyone at the initial stages of considering a move to Portugal.

Although this took 6 weeks to arrive (which I guess shows how popular it is) it was worth the wait. Its a great place to start for anyone considering buying property in Italy. I have now lent it to a friend who is probably going to buy something in Ambruzzo, and although I ended up not buying property in Italy if I ever did - I would ask for this book back again.
It's got good advice about the regions and important checklists - things to consider costings for things like replacing roofs, renovations etc.
Although if you are thinking of buying in Italy and if you want to renotate though the golden rule is:
You must be on site for anything to happen or hire a great project co-ordinator which can be a bit costly ... Read More:
