Customer Reviews

I want to move to Seaside!

This book makes me want to pack my things and move to Seaside. If you love the beach and small towns, you will love Seaside. It was very interesting to learn the history of this beach town.

Great value for this book

This book is mostly a historical account as Seaside, the development in the panhandle of Florida, is being developed. It mostly shows photographs of the different houses built so both architects and designers can get an intimate view. It is a great book as a reference for building in the Florida vernacular...

Photographic Equivalent of Birthday Cake!

This exquisitely-photographed book about the 80-acre northern Florida community is the perfect antidote to the winter blues or for anyone wishing to take an armchair trip to this breathtaking beach area. Located approximately 70 miles east of Pensacola in the Florida panhandle, Seaside was featured as the perfect city in the movie "The Truman Show" starring Jim Carrey. The movie itself was dreadful, and the real star was Seaside. ( )

Good book on a great town

Brooke's book accurately portrays the rewarding small, Florida gulf town of Seaside-an architectural delight. I had the opportunity to visit recently, and didn't want to leave it's relaxing environment. The book contains a good description of the town's history and it's founder, Robert Davis, as well as vivid photography. As the town continues to grow, I'd like to see updates on new features in Seaside, as well as more information on the cottage owners and how they choose the decor and color schemes for their individual homes. It's a great coffee table book and must-have for visitors to Seaside.
