Summary: Excellent Reference for the Florida Visitor and Resident.
Review: I've lived in the beautiful state of Florida for 36 years and this book is one of the best tour guides I've seen for people who love to drive as much as I do. While perusing this publication, I have found several places that even I haven't visited yet. There are 25 separate driving tours (recommended driving times of one to three days) mapped out for you to enjoy. Each trip/map is accompanied by descriptions and color photographs of the best attractions to visit along the suggested routes. So, grab a copy, jump in your car, and have a great time whether you are with family, with friends, or going solo. And remember, please drive safely and enjoy this great state.

Summary: Do you need this book? Maybe, but...
Review: With a decent guide State guide you won't need this book. Frommer's has two very good Florida Guides that for a few dollars more gives you so much more. What this guide will give you is 25 Driving tours. You will find the guide useful if you are going to Florida (or live in Florida) have a car, you love to drive, and have free days to follow out the itineraries. For example the `Dayton Beach' Tour is 3 days and 191 miles. The small map starts out each tour and gives a numbered, stop by stop, clue of what you will see along the route. Each place of interest has a very short description, very short, that provides a very basic insight. Most of the tours found in this guides go in loops, you finish where you started. This is probably not what you wanted to do. After 4 weeks in Florida, I found myself using the State guides "Frommers" & "Fodors" over and over (see my reviews) and seldom used this guide. In short, the guide is well thought out, colorful, and the very short informational pieces are well written, BUT the usefulness of the guide is not there for me and I doubt if it will be for you. Conditionally recommend.
