From the Inside Flap

Here is the book lover's literary tour of Florida, an exhaustive survey of writers, books, and literary sites in every part of the state. The state is divided into ten areas and each one is described from a literary point of view. You will learn what authors lived in or wrote about a place, which books describe the place, what important movies were made there, even the literary trivia which the true Florida book lover will want to know. You can use the book as a travel guide to a new way to see the state, as an armchair guide to a better understanding of our literary heritage, or as a guide to what to read next time you head to a bookstore or library.

Nine writers collaborated on this book. Most of them live in the area they write about and all have longstanding literary ties to the area. Each exhaustively researched the boos about, set in, or by the authors who live in the area. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
