Amazon customer reviews:
We sail the Med summers and keep the Heikells' pilot books by our side. We update them as they are published. Last summer we sailed to Italy and consider their books a necessary part of both our planning and charting. Can't do without them!

It not only provides the necessary information for the sailor but also gives the most interesting local and historical information. A most interesting book.
