    Customer Testimonials

    Bought this book because I love island food specifically from Virgin Islands. The author seems to have written the book using the island lingo accent which is great. This book will be with me where ever I go for many many years.

    Alston BentonLove my island food.

    This book is full of great history with many photos of land marks and items used in the olden days of the Virgin Islands. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn all about the history and sayings of St. Thomas.
