The book "South Beach" is a great read. It covers the death and rebirth of this phat ocean front town. After reading this book it made me want to learn more about Art Deco and how Art Deco made South Beach. I recently went to South Beach and had a blast. If you can't visit South Beach, reading this book will let you know how this exciting place came about.

Bill Wisser has been chronicling South Beach for many years. This book contains simply superior photography of all the great Art Deco landmarks -- and a few surprises. Essential before any visit to South Beach. And a must-have if you live on South Beach because you'll see artistic photos of buildings and details in Wisser's book you never knew you lived among.

I have visited South Beach eight times in the past three years and found it very exicting. This book has helped me understand the beginnings of South Beach and the meaning behind Art Deco. Although I fell in love with South Beach at first sight this book makes me love it even more. The book was very well written and the illustrations were very nice. Now that I have read this book I would like to purchase more on South Beach. I hope to visit South Beach again soon and this book makes a good directory.
