Having gotten back from Natchez, I ordered this for my wife as a momento. It is, like my wife, really small. It is, again like her, very colorful. However, unlike her, it is unsuitable to the topic it tries to tackle. Too much ground is covered, too few pictures that are too small, no real text, yadda yadda. Don't waste your money, save up for a big coffee table book on Natchez. Better yet, go see the town, it's incredible (like my wife).

I bought this book two years ago after a vacation to Natchez. I wish I had purchased and read it first because I would have had a lot more information on the old homes. I found the book very interesting giving a brief history of each home. I would recommend that anyone who is planning on visiting Natchez get this book and read it first. I missed choosing appropriate homes to visit because I only had the information from the City of Natchez tours of plantations of which there were many wonderful ones to choose from, I could have spent a month there.

i love this series of books. it is sometimes hard to find visitor information on some of the "off the beaten path" plantation homes and such. this gives you some idea of what to look for. thanks!!
