Book Overview

The Celebration of a Town

In this book, Michael Lassell delivers a remarkably balanced and intimate portrait of this fascinating Florida town. In all ways, Mr. Lassell's book is far superior to Ross's The Celebration Chronicles and Frantz and Collins's Celebration USA. The text and the scores of beautiful photographs capture the magic of the town and enable the reader to understand why Celebration is considered by many to be the most significant new town to be developed in the second half of the twentieth century.
