Florida Books

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.

As is fitting for a guide on Orlando, the bulk of this book is focused on the various theme parks. In addition, all the standard Fodor's material is here covering restaurants and hotels.

For the most part I found the material to be very useful and accurate. The strategies they give you for avoiding long lines for rise at the theme parks are spot-on. The book also gives descriptions and ratings of every ride and attraction at each park. The descriptions are almost too detailed (if you want any surprises) and their ratings are sometimes too generous. Still, the material is often helpful in deciding which rides to make sure you see and what can be skipped if time is short.

All in all this is an excellent book that was extremely helpful to me on my trips to Orlando. The writing is clear and concise, the information is organized logically, and the information is accurate and useful. You won't find a better guide to the Orlando area and its theme parks.

This is the Real McCoy, not just another pretty picture book. While the pictures are as stunning as we've become accustomed to expect in high quality, food-oriented books these days, it's the recipes that define this extraordinary work.

The author, herself a Floridian, has exercised her native sense of balance in assembling a unique complement of South Florida's finest chefs - some very well known and some on the "up" ramp of their careers - to create the cultural mosaic which, in fact, IS South Florida.

Each of the recipes has been tested many times for home kitchen preparation, making this a very practical volume as well as a legitimate teaser to entice you to the establishments of the chefs themselves.

And how many "producers" like Ms. Stuart are capable of starring in their own production like she is - by contributing her own recipes to fully balance the content of her work?

You won't need any other book to understand, appreciate, prepare and enjoy the unique cuisine of South Florida. This book's food will make you feel the sand in your shoes and the salt air in your hair. You'll swear that you're in the Florida tropics already. And your guests for whom you prepare the recipes will surely request more.

This is the first real tribute to South Florida's diverse, exciting and totally unique cuisine. I highly recommend it.

If you like old cowboy songs or you remember Roy Rogers and the rest then this is the book for you. The scores are written for average pianists to play and the stories about the songs are great. But the best part is that there were songs in here I could only remember snatches of...and now I have all the lyrics.

I could not put down this book its filled with greed, self center children and alot of money. What makes one son decide to blow up his family? Well MONEY & JEALOUSLY of course. Its so far fetched yet just plan crazy tale of family with a few issues. Its well written and does an excellent background check of all the players so you grow to understand what made them all tic. Its well worth the time to read. And my paperback version came with pictures so you get to see who every one was before the bombing.
