Tampa Bay,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Tampa Bay: A Photographic Portrait (Hardcover)
Tampa Bay is a very nice photographic portrait of the Tampa Bay area. The quality of all the pictures were fantastic and I recommend this book to anyone who loves Tampa Bay or just wants to see how it looks like. The only concern I have with the book is if Lafollette could've taken even more photos of Tampa than Clearwater and St. Petersburg since Tampa is the main attraction of the area. I would have liked to have seen at least some more pictures of Busch Gardens and the Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg. Other than those concerns, I was pretty much satisfied with the book!
