Best guide to the south

If you are looking for a complete guide to southern homes, then you need look no further. This is one of the best guides I have found. I am a Southerner who works as a travel agent and travel writer. One of my greatest passions is visiting historical homes. I have a stack of books on historic homes and grand estates and together they do not contain as much information as this guide does. When one thinks of Southern homes, grand plantations such as the one in Gone With the Wind come to mind. Or we think of the Victorian splendor of places such as Charleston and Savannah. With many places spanning over 200 years you will find a variety of historical homes in the south. Bob covers a great many often not found in other publications. For example, here in NC, the only grand home that gets written about is The Biltmore Estate and on occasion Tryon Palace. Yet Bob lists 40. In fact thought this book I found several near my home that I didn't even know about. Thanks Bob! When writing travel articles I inevitably over and over again reference this book and always suggest its use for my readers and for my clients as a travel agent. I do a lot of travel packages in the south and this is a most valuable reference for getting my clients to places they might other wise miss. The book was published in 1993 so I would love to see an updated version. But for the best guide to southern homes there isn't a book that I have found so far with as much information as this one.
