This is a fascinating depiction of the life of Margaret Mitchell within the context of an Atlanta that is far more sophisticated and complicated than when she lived there. As you begin your drive you go from the newly renovated Margaret Mitchell house (which is also fun for a tour) down Peachtree Street, past the Georgian Terrace and into less modern areas of the city until you end at her grave at the Oakland Cemetary. It is really moving when you finally drive up and park and listen to the final words of the tape. I loved the tape of the Battle of Peachtree Creek and I love this one--both because you really see the city in a multi-faceted way; both from a historical and a contemporary perspective. This is particularly effective with Margaret Mitchell who loved Atlanta and lived and died here. The stories and quotes which you listen to on the tape bring you close to a real Margaret Mitchell not just the legendary figure who wrote Gone With The Wind. This is just a great way to follow her personal history and see the places where she lived and died. Definitely a must do for fans of Margaret Mitchell as well as those who are curious to see Atlanta within a broad spectrum of its architecture and its history.

Charles Johnson brings to life a fascinating and fiercely independent woman from the Old South. Johnson is a wonderful story teller and the tale includes scandal, a prodigious court battle and an array of marvelous personalities. This book is a treasure.

Loads of good information. Very well indexed. Can be used as a secondary source of information for lots of look ups. This book is also a good place to start your research. I don't know how she found all those cemeteries!

The book was great! I did a great job on my report. Thank you!

It is a very informative book especially for beginners. I take my copy to local gardening stores and have been able to find every item listed in the book. It makes the landscaping task much easier.

This book gives readers an accurate account of the History of Montgomery County, Georgia. It includes old pictures and maps and the names of the early founders. Great source for Genealogical research.

Being very new to the Atlanta area, I needed some help finding my way around and knowing where to shop for what. This book eased my transition, and more than paid for itself.

Liza Wieland, through multiple veiwpoints à la Faulkner's "As I lay Dying", has tapped into all the loneliness, fear, and love that can bring a community together in a time of crisis. Her prose is lyrical and dense, sometimes almost poetry, often requiring time to absorb, but what well spent time! This is a story that will stay with you, and you won't want it any other way.

I have Nancy Brachey's Guide to Piedmont Gardening on my coffee table, and in the nights, after a day in my Nordic garden I love to look in it.

Piedmont is far, far from Mid-Norway where I live, and many of Nancy's suggestions will never work in my area. Other suggestions are perfect, and this shows me that gardening is a joy we can share world wide.

Nancy Brachey is the garden editor of The Charlotte Observer for 25 years. Though Nancy's area is a southern one, Nancy travels worldwide and has a very special eye for gardens - I believe the English and the Italian ones are her favorites. She picks up ideas on her travels and bring them back to Carolina for her neighbours to enjoy. The Guide book is a month-by-month guide stuffed with practical tips for big and small gardeners. Your garden can be a huge and unique one, or it can be just a tiny little spot right outside your kitchen door. Nancy has information for both, and invites us to join her in her love of gardening.

The book is filled with drawings and pictures. For a Norwegian like me I sometimes would love more color pictures to recognize the plants she is talking about, but her ton á ton green pictures have their very special charm.

I'm moving to a new house with a bigger garden these days, and Nancy's book will move with me and have it's natural place on my new coffee table. Thanks Nancy for sharing your love of gardening.
