	ABOUT THIS EDITION OF BAHAMAS HANDBOOK For nearly four decades, the Bahamas Handbook and Businessman’s Annual has been informing, motivating, encouraging and entertaining readers with a rich resource of knowledge about the Bahama Islands. It is the most comprehensive, up-to-date, authoritative reference book on The Bahamas today. Read bout the irascible buccaneer Captain Charles Vane. Relive the early days of East Hill St, where pirates and rum runners cavorted, and discover The Bahamas’ Lewis family, first non-Indian settlers of southeast Florida. Reminisce about Muhammad Ali’s last fight – the “Drama in Bahama.” Explore the mysteries of the deep, Eleuthera’s enigmatic boulders, our historic world of alligators, seals and iguanas. Learn how to buy your own island paradise. Find out why The Bahamas attracts so much wealth, and take a walk through cyberspace on the information superhighway. Grand Bahama has to be one of the fastest growing cities in this part of the world with its container port, which has initiated a whole new industry, countless spin-offs and a flurry of interest from international investors. Meet key players, the movers and shakers of this second largest city of The Bahamas. Follow the road to alternative healing. And for information on everything Bahamian from A-Z, use the Blue Pages as a handy reference. It’s all here and more! ORDER NOW!
