Sandspurs: Notes from a Coastal Columnist

This book is a compilation of the hilariously insightful columns of Daytona Beach News Journal writer Mark Lane. Florida, of both the past and present, is a hard place to explain...one that tourists don't often get a sense of until they decide to move there. His columns reveal this odd, quirky, wonderful place...a world of hurricanes, alligators, bugs the size of shoes, NASCAR devotees, over-zealous developers, misguided tourists and cartoonish politicians. I LOVE his survival-of-the-fittest Darwinian Gardener who, unlike most, makes no attempt to tame a yard born to be wild. A must read for any Floridian, or would-be Floridian!
