Each island page has the web links and book references which are particularly relevant to that island. Sites and books included must have a significant content about the island in question otherwise it will not be included. However, there are many excellent publications both on-line and in print which aren't specifically about one particular island but still deserve mention. Therefore lonely-isles presents a list of general links which we feel will be of interest to the people who would read our site. As always if you feel there are others which could and should be included then drop us an email.
