Over the years, Florida novelist Tom Corcoran provided photos for seven Jimmy Buffett album and CD packages. Corcoran also has been photographing Key West for more than thirty years. This high quality book collects over 160 images of buildings, boats, street scenes, old signs, beaches and businesses. The sharp pictures and short anecdotes capture the unique spirit of Key West and celebrate a distinct period of change. Many subjects are off the beaten track, so the book is more for true fans of the island than for tourism promotion. To honor the launch of this book in 2007, sixty-five framed photographs were displayed at the Custom House Museum of the Key West Art and Historical Society. The introduction is by well-known novelist and journalist Randy Wayne White.

Beautiful, Beautiful Book,

This review is from: Key West in Black and White (Paperback)
This is a wonderful resource and a treasure for anyone who loves Key West and its history. Corcoran has captured the island in the moments before its latest transition from backwater haven for horizon-seekers to upscale address for timeshare pimps. The choice of imagery combined with the quality of composition and the beautiful presentation make a book that would appeal to anyone who loves the odder corners of our world, whether they care specifically about Key West or not. I'm so very glad to have this wonderful collection of photos. What a lovely trip through time.
