GUERNSEY’S best-known map guide has had a revamp.

Improvements made to the Perry’s Island Guide for 2010 include a new spiral binding, larger-scale maps and a better ‘overlap’ view to ensure readers do not get lost when they turn from page to page.

At the same time as making the guide more user-friendly, publisher Coast Media has also been careful not to sacrifice any of the guide’s traditional qualities, according to director Barry Wells.

‘We’ve taken great care to retain all the essential elements that have resulted in Perry’s Guides becoming practically an island institution. ‘The basic product hasn’t changed and people can be assured that the page number and grid references are exactly the same.
