Make sure to get the latest edition

This book was very detailed and provided lots of great information on just about anything Belize. Sadly, bought it about a week before the latest edition came out. In the edition I have, everything is six or seven years old. I get the impression that there are a lot of newer real estate developments and that things change frequently, here. So needless to say, my version of the book is too dated to provide the latest info. Since I paid$10 for the ebook, at least a discounted new edition would be a nice gesture.

The other slight beef is there were quite a few spots in the book that would have benefited from an editor's touch. There were typos that slowed me down a little. But from what I have seen, this is one of the best and most complete books on the subject.

I read this book mostly while vacationing in Belize for a week. The information in it sometimes proved more helpful than my travel books. The breakdown on the various regions throughout the country was incredibly detailed. Loaded with all kinds of local information and insight regardless if you plan on retiring there or not.
