Book excerpt: Captured in such unusual vintage attractions as the 1906 Historic Smallwood Store on Chokoloskee Island, the ornate Venetian Pool in Coral Gables, and the mysterious Coral Castle, constructed entirely from coral by one man. Old Florida is the first book to show the full range of architectural styles -- from the grand to the modest -- that demonstrate the eclecticism of this intriguing state. In 150 spectacular color and black-and-white images, photographers Steve Gross and Sue Daley have captured the essence of Old Florida in a book that will fascinate residents, tourists, and armchair travelers alike.
