Reviews

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.
