Cargo Ship Cruising: A Guide to the Joys of Sailing the World in Passenger-Carrying Cargo Ships

Rating:
Summary: Great concept - Weak treatment.
Review: Okay, here's the deal. I'm looking for a great way to study for the bar. A thirty or sixty day cruise sounded like a great option. I wouldn't buy it again though.

Although this is a fairly entertaining read, It's a bit pricey - it's privately published so you're probably not going to find it at your local bookstore. I was disappointed by its size, scope, and overall treatment of the subject.

Best bet: if you happen to see this book at a garage sale - pick it up. Don't pay full price - you'll be disappointed.

Summary: Experienced travellers may be dissappointed
Review: This is not a reference book - it is more a description of the authors'travels. The book was obviously written by people with a lot of time on their hands. You'll find a lot of detail about changing money and visiting markets in foreign countries, for example. Still, if you have never travelled by cargo ship before, the book contains a lot of useful information, particularly about accommodation and the lifestyle on board.
