The New Georgia Guide is a yarn-spinning, gallus-snapping,
barbecue-sniffing, language-loving, gator-wrestling,
backroad-exploring travel companion. Part history, part folklore,
part recipe book, part yellow pages, there will be few Georgia
natives who aren't educated or amused by some portion of it, and
outsiders will find here a road map not only to the county seats
but to the soul of Georgia.--Melissa Fay Greene "author of Praying
for Sheetrock"
A real reader's book . . . written by fine writers with a feel for
their place, and including tips on touring the state.--Georgia
Times-Union
A thick, literate guide to the state.--Publishers Weekly
A timely literary roadmap to the soul of that southern state. Part
history, part folklore, 100 percent informative and entertaining,
this guidebook (an updated version of the WPA guide to Georgia)
offers roadmaps, driving tours, trivia, photos, and an intimate
look at the best places to eat, explore, and enjoy.--New York
Post
Exhaustive . . . The New Georgia Guide is full of the campy
Americana often missed by readers of Frommer's and Fodor's, the
sort of information that can mean the difference between a mere
trip and an adventure.--New York Times
No nook or cranny of this fascinating state escapes highlighting in
this vastly comprehensive guide.--Booklist
Yes, go buy a copy of The New Georgia Guide. . . . It is a bargain,
and you will be diverted, amused, challenged and informed by a book
that is not only travelogue, but history and social
commentary.--Athens Magazine
Although only portions of this exhaustive, well-written guide offer information that will interest travelers headed to Atlanta this summer, the sheer breadth of cultural, historical, and regional coverage makes it essential for regional libraries.
