Customer Reviews

Lovely look inside Savannah homes

I purchased this book, intending to use it as a guest book for our upcoming destination wedding in Savannah. (Guests would sign the edges of the pages and we'd have a lovely coffee table book to look through when we returned home, filled with love and well-wishes from our guests.) While this book is beautiful and the photos are striking, it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. The vast majority of the photos were of inside various homes. I was hoping to find a book that had more photos of the squares, riverfront, etc. Still a great book, though.

Beautiful and Intelligent

Is it possible to be in love with a book? When I ordered Savannah Style, I could hardly wait for its arrival. I wasn't disappointed - in fact, it is even better than I anticipated, having read other reviews prior to purchase. The photographs are gorgeous and reflective, and entice one to have a certain mood when reading this wonderful book. And read it I did, because it is not only beautiful, but intelligent as well. Although Sully is intent on the mystery element of Savannah, it is still a beautiful book to own and love. The question is, 'When can I immigrate?'

Eccentric and Brooding

I believe that the photographs capture the essence of Savannah. Susan Sully has provided us with a sketchbook of Savannah's mystery and charm. The over the top decorating schemes are perfectly matched to the quirky and brooding characters who inhabit these fabulous southern mansions. Every photograph evoked a glimpse of a place we would all secretly love to share.
