The Best Guide to Clothing-Optional Recreation in English, Jan 29 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lee Baxandall's World Guide to Nude Beaches & Recreation: New for the '90s (Paperback)
The latest edition of the "World Guide" is better than ever. I've purchased most of the other guides for clothing-optional recreation available in English, and the "World Guide" covers many more nude hot springs, free beaches, and nudist clubs than anything else in print. I've been to most of the places in the Pacific Northwest that the guide talks about, and so far the directions and descriptions have been accurate and up to date. I take xeroxed copies of relevant pages with me as my wife and I travel from state to state, and from country to country. The photography is also fantastic. The publisher is not ashamed of using complete nudity, but it is not at all "racy." I've shown this book to my friends to help explain what naturism is all about.

The best guide available for clothing optional leisure., May 8 1998
By Mark Storey - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lee Baxandall's World Guide to Nude Beaches & Recreation: New for the '90s (Paperback)
This is clearly the best guide to family-friendly clothing optional recreation that is written in English. Most of the other naturist guides tell you about clothing optional hot springs, OR nudist clubs, OR nude beaches. But Baxandall's book covers them all...from the Caribbean to the USA, from Asia to Europe. The photographs are beautiful and of "coffee table" quality. I recommend this book to anyone interested in non-lewd nude recreation.

The definitive compact guide to places for nude recreation., Mar 22 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Lee Baxandall's World Guide to Nude Beaches & Recreation: New for the '90s (Paperback)
Lee Baxandall has crafted a reasonably concise and complete guide to areas where nudity may be enjoyed. This includes formal and informal nude beaches, with detailed directions on how to get there, and also includes established nudist resorts from around the world. This compliments the North American Guide to Nude Recreation. The photographs show happy, relaxed people of all ages unashamedly enjoying the freedom of nudisty in various settings. This book gives a good overview of the nudist lifestyle.
