New South

If you are a native of Atlanta or just a connoisseur of good photography you will enjoy this book. Gleason gets some incredible shots of the Atlanta skyline. If their is one minor flaw it would be that he forcuses to much on downtown and not enough on areas such as Buckhead and Druid Hills. One of the best things about arial books such as this is that you get to see the city from a different perspective. Gleason captures the essence of Atlanta, capital of the New South.
