Summary: From the Morgan County (Ga.) Citizen
Review: "Georgia 24/7" is a photo album of Georgia, providing a visual journey through the state. The brainchild of Rick Smolan and David Elliot Cohen, creators of "America 24/7," the book is just a fragment of the two-man vision. Inspired by the success of both "America 24/7" and "A Day in the Life of America," they decided to focus the scope on individual states.

With professional and amateur photographers from across the nation working to take photos of every state during a single week in May 2003, the resulting books highlight the daily lives of the real people who make up the collage that is the United States.

The people and sites of Morgan County and areas nearby are well represented in "Georgia 24/7," which was published in September simultaneously with the books for the other 49 states.

"Georgia 24/7" travels through the bustle of cities and across the manicured lawns of suburbs, rumbling down dirt roads and racing along interstates, showcasing Georgians at home, work and play.

Perfect for a coffee table, the glossy book offers buyers more than a chance to flip through the pages of Georgia's glory and stories. The publisher, DK publishing, is also offering buyers a chance to personalize the book's cover.

A perfect holiday gift or just a bit of armchair travel, this book is great for anyone who loves Georgia.

Summary: The Library Journal, October 2004
Review: Book Briefs section: The series abounds with unique imagery and some surprising choices. The bottom line is that [the state books] will likely be as popular [as America 24/7], if not more so. Large public libraries should order the entire set.
