Florida Books

I am very pleased with this book. It covers both native & introduced species. The descriptions are very detailed and the pictures are superb.

Peter Bramley left us with this inspired contribution to the preservation of vanishing Florida wildlife. I have used this book in elementary and middle school classrooms as a teaching tool. The students love it, and Pete, who was a personal friend of mine until his passing, had a body of original artwork dedicated to the beauty of Florida wildlife. In this coloring book he shares it with us and passes along his simple appreciation of a vanishing age. Pete, wherever you are, your spirit lives on. I would recommend this coloring book for children of any age.

I took this book with me on a recent photography trip to Florida and it proved very helpful. I would recomend it to nature/wildlife photographers.

120 pages of beautiful color photography on sturdy matte paper, 12 doubled-column pages of the history of Florida, in an oversized hardback. Coffee table quality. The history is entertaining and informative, scattered with stories of local legends. The pictures are annotated and tell a story in themselves. The book was printed in 1984 and all the pictures appear to be from that time period. I thouroughly enjoyed both looking at the photos and reading the concise history of each of the areas of Florida.

Excellent pictorial journey of Florida. Includes a one page history of Florida with translations into French, Spanish & German. A real treasure. We bought several copies as gifts to our family after our recent move to Florida.

In Fly-Fishing The South Atlantic Coast, seasoned angler Jimmy Jacobs shows the reader where to find game fish from North Carolina's Outer Banks down to through the Florida Keys. With an introductory chapter surveying the species of fish commonly sought during each season along the southeast Atlantic coastline, Jacobs provides advice on gear selection and saltwater flies, how to fish the different types of inshore waters from ocean inlets to tidal creeks to oystershell bars. Fly-Fishing The South Atlantic Coast also provides the aspiring fly-fisherman with information on weight records, regulations, and angling calendars for each state. With its detailed maps of each area to make trip planning easy, anyone considering a fishing trip anywhere along the southeast Atlantic coastline should begin with a careful reading of Jimmy Jacobs' Fly-Fishing The South Atlantic Coast!

Had the pleasure of fishing with Ben and later reading this book. He practices what he preaches...and it works! If you're going to fish the Keys this is the book you want.

This book is an excellent reference for anyone looking to find out more about fly fishing in Florida's salt water. The layout makes it easy to find the type of fishing opportunities you are looking for (wading, paddling, power boat). The author did his homework putting this together including interviewing guides and other fisherman that know specific areas better than he does.

I would highly recommend this book to any fly fisher interested in fishing Florida's coast. Bait and lure fisherman would benefit as well.

I bought this book and thoroughly enjoyed every page! The information is excellent, and will assist you with everything you need to know about Orlando, and Walt Disney World. The tips are very helpful, and will provide the opportunity to make the most out of your stay. Orlando, and Walt Disney World need such publications to help travelers navigate the area and attractions! If you are planning a vacation to Orlando, or Walt Disney World-I highly recommend this book as part of your luggage.

Over time I have used a lot of different Travel Guides, but no matter where the trip has taken me Fodor's is always the best.
