Yes it is published by The Daily Sun.

The Villages phone book is also published by the Daily Sun. When we rented a villa in July, I called the Daily Sun about buying a phone book and was told the new ones are published in November. They are distributed first to residents and businesses. Any leftovers are available to purchase in January. I'd like to buy one next time I'm in TV!

At the bottom of the first page of Talk of the Villages is a link to something called "Nuts and Bolts of the Villages." That, plus the Newcomers Guide, should provide you with all the information you need.

If you succeed in getting the Guide on your iPad, please let us know how you do it!

Being distinctly behind the power curve with respect to all these modern high-tech gadgets, I must wonder how you could fit the better than 250 pages of the Newcomer's Guide on your "little bitty phone?"

BTW, check your edition carefully: Mine arrived with some 30 pages missing. An e-mail ended up with a new copy hand-delivered the same afternoon!

And, don't take everything as gospel. I found at least one somewhat serious map error, plus any number of bad index references.

Still, especially for newbies this is a worth-while book to have!

Ok....called the Daily Sun and they have no electronic version of the guide. You can pickup one at their office in Spanish Springs, but it's paper and costs $5.00.

Of course, the file used to print the book is electronic, but they'd have a tough time controlling the "sale" of that...
