Compass American Guides : Georgia (Paperback)

~ John T. Edge (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Lively, insightful writing and splendid illustrations make this guide a standout. Dividing Georgia into six regions, it gives Atlanta and Savannah their due without overlooking farther reaches of the state. Leading off with a 30-page historical and cultural overview, the content moves from north to south by region, pausing to cover individual communities and attractions much as a AAA tour book would. Page design and the integration of all types of full-color visual material (maps, charts, photos, paintings, etc.) plus literary excerpts make guides in this series unique. As far as practicalities, the attractions don't list hours or admissions, and the beautiful maps don't plot or reference attractions, hotels, or restaurants. Listings for food and lodgings are selective and should please choosy travelers. This good pretrip reading is recommended for public libraries.
