This ia an outstanding book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It looks beautiful, the layout can’t be beat AND it’s a powerful story that gives a comprehensive look at the Florida attration Weeki Wachee, springs in Florida, the associated attractions, the fellow (Newt Perry) who started it all and mermaids!
This is a must-read for Floridians.

The book is also profusely illustrated with tons of photos that do an excellent job of giving a visual understanding of what is written. The photos are extremely well reproduced. I even like the fonts used.

A big part of this is the obvious love and care given to representing the Weeki Wachee attraction and Florida in general. A non-native Floridian would not be able to have written this book. The writers have such a firm grasp of our state and its tourism. It comes out in each page. The majority who write about Florida, fiction and non-fiction, don’t get it. There are the  writers who fall for the beach and flamingo fluff. Or the Disney stuff. There are those appeasing businesses (Disney, again) and the real estate market (Sidenote: That would include the authors of the Amendment about property taxes we Floirdians had better vote down January 29th for our own good No corporate welfare!). I truly hope the authors will endeavor upon more books about Floirda history. Maybe Silver Springs? Marineland? Please! I want to see the tale of Monkey Jungle!!!
