The Complete Idiot's Guide to Geocaching (Complete Idiot's Guides (Lifestyle Paperback)) (Purchased on 13/03/2009)
Good guide from firstimers point of view , but is American viewpoint based (author being American lol ) Personal view is such a book needs to be a more generic viewpoint. I feel as though this was written as though geocaching would not take off anywhere but America yet it is a worldwide phenomenon.Anyone who buys it needs to be aware that although written with an American perspective, it is a very good guide until you gain some experience or get to know some of your local enthusiasts.

A good intro
A great overview to get a good understanding of this great pastime. I have lent mine out to friends and loved ones countless times. If you are already caching then you probably know 75% of whats in the book, but I still flick through mine every so often.
