[Mark Mathes · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fun, engaging book series for Florida crackers, residents and the 90 million-plus who visit Florida every year. Few know Florida like a local. Each of the author’s books helps you enjoy our strange state before paradises paved over. Maps, photos and fun facts.
