Reviews
"Provides a perspective different from the theme park and beach images most commonly associated with Florida."-- Library Journal, "Delights in letting people know that to really discover Florida, you have to turn off the congested Interstates and explore the state's towns and cities."-- New York Times, "There are a lot of Florida tourism books that direct readers from one tourist trap to the next, but underneath the Sunshine State's shiny faade reside rich history and diverse culture. This is where Salustri . . . comes in . . . . direct[ing] Florida tourists away from busy theme parks and interstate highways by revisiting the path cut by the 1939 Federal Writers Project (FWP) book, Florida: A Guide to the Southernmost State, and taking readers along for the ride."-- Booklist, "[Salustri] delights in letting people know that to really discover Florida, you have to turn off the congested interstates and explore the state's towns and cities."-- New York Times, "Salustri's enthusiasm for Florida is evident and contagious. . . .
