Customer Reviews

A big help to a newcomer

I purchased this book in advance of my move to Jax nearly a year ago. It has some great, honest reviews about a lot of the popular sites in the city, along with highlighting some of the more obsure gems that I was excited to explore. Even with all the information available on the web, I still like to peruse the book for quick ideas on what to do and where to go. It's a fun read and I have learned a lot about some of the great things in Jacksonville because of this neat compilation. Overall, a great introduction to an interesting city. Cheers!

Absolutelly a must!!!

I bought this book because it was recommended with the map of Jacksonville.... no intention at all! However, when I received it at home, I fell in love in it! Absolutelly! It has great writing style, photos that made me love Jax before I go there, things one needs to know, no matter if he/she is just a tourist, or intent to live there. I am in the second group (hopefully), so I learned all: from the shopping malls, through schools to the good description of neiborghoods... Definitelly a good book. I will reconfirm this when I go there (in couple months)

Surprisingly great!

I am moving to Jacksonville and was looking for some information. This book provided basics and then some. Unlike most travel books, this one is designed to be read straight through, but is divided into specific sections for those who are looking for certain information. A lot of information in a very easy to read format. Would gladly purchase more in the series when moving again!
