St Lucia Insight Compact Guide (Insight Compact Guides)
Just what we needed for a short holiday. Easy to carry and dip into. Great historical and cultural background. Colourful and interesting illustrations and maps. Perhaps a little more could be added about the pros and cons of all-inclusive v. independent holidays on the island, although to be fair, accommodation options are well covered.

Concise guide to a tropical garden island
Everything you need to know in a slim guide. St Lucia doesn't really have tourist attractions as such - it's simply a wonderfully scenic volcanic island with a luxuriant rain forest fringed by resorts and beaches - so there is less to say than for more multi-faceted islands, but this guide does the job perfectly well.
