New Georgia Guide

"...[A] good-humoured but honest book. An update of one of the famous Works Progress Administration guidebooks commissioned by the Federal Government during the depression to provide work for unemployed writers, it begins with a first-rate, 100-page history of Georgia by James Cobb [who] writes sensitively of his own experience growing up amid segregation and rural poverty....In its down-home way, 'The New Georgia Guide' is more of a literary work than, say a Fodor guide....[I]t is likely that, over the years, the Guide will have its greatest currency among Georgians themselves. Perhaps the best achievement of the book is that they will feel at home in it."Hood, Mary is the author of 'New Georgia Guide' with ISBN 9780820317991 and ISBN 0820317993.
