DK Eyewitness Florida

I've been to Florida a hundred times, but almost always to visit relatives, and so most visits were to non-descript corners. I bought this guide after hearing a frequent British visitor to the state tell me how much he loves Florida, in hopes of being able to see the place with new eyes. These Eyewitness guides are terrific, of course, for their photos. But the writing is also first rate, and does a better job than other guides I've read of making destinations sound interesting. Finally, the series are written for non-Americans, and so have comments about the place and an orientation that American-made guides miss completely.

I bought it for my girlfriend before our trip to Florida, and it helped her visualize thing better than researching on the internet. I grew up in Jupiter, FL and now live out west, but I learned at least 100 new places and things that I didn't know, especially around Miami and The Keys where we were going.

This is one of the best, most complete guides to Florida travel. I have several Florida guide and travel resources and find that I always go back to this book.

In a sea of dismal travel books, the Eyewitness Travel Guides published by Dorling Kindersley stand out like a lighthouse. Last year we traveled to Florida and relied heavily on this guidebook. Not only were the maps, directions, and recommendations absolutely perfect, but the high quality of this book and its absolute comprehensiveness (especially in light of its price) make it a must-buy. The best are its beautiful images in this guide easily recall some of our best moments, making it a keepsake even after the trip. The flexible, plasticized cover also means it stays looking nice, even after spending all day in a crowded backpack. All told, the perfect travel guide and another in a long line of excellent Dorling Kindersley books.Since then, I have bought this guide wherever I travel ( New York, Paris), and I am now buying it to give as present to my family and friends
