Selling The Sunshine State/ A Celebration of Florida Tourism Advertising/Tim Hollis

When I saw this book at Barnes and Noble, trumpets and horns echoed throughout the entire store. It hit on all the things I been into lately. Florida History, Propaganda/Tourism posters, design, art, lay-out, color, advertising...you get the picture. Simply a great book to have in your library(If you have one..I do...). If you love poster design and old school photos of Florida, when everything seems so pure and endless, then this will be nirvana to you. Paul Rating: A+. Who's been to Pioneer City? Who's been to Storyland?

A Land Remembered/ Patrick D.Smith

Yes, another required Florida book one must read. This would be a perfect book to give a middle or high school student over the summer to read. I wish I read it when I was younger. It's a book about the least known or talked about frontiers in America......Florida. From Tallahassee all the way down to Fort Dallas, I mean, Miami. A very easy read. Remember, your dealing with historical fiction here, so there are a lot of details to chew on. Paul Rating: A.
