The Absolutely Essential Guide to Orlando: Where the World Goes on Vacation Book

The Absolutely Essential(r) Guide to Orlando is a delightful, easy-to-read look at the Central Florida region and a must-buy for fans of Central Florida. Written by Robin Chapman, a well-known Florida television journalist who also served five years as a Disney executive, it presents an insider's view of one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. From the story of Florida's gentle manatee, to the "back door" entrance to Epcot, this handy little book is a celebration of all of the best Orlando and Central Florida have to offer. Illustrated in color with a collection of vintage postcards, its style has a nostalgic appeal-yet the book is also modern and practical. Its convenient size fits easily into purse or pocket, and its UV cover resists the effects of both Florida sunshine and Florida rain. "I love Robin's inclusion of so many historical facts," says Florida's Lt. Governor Toni Jennings. "This is a terrific guide, for visitors and residents alike." This is the second book in The Absolutely Essential(r) series: the first, The Absolutely Essential(r) Guide to Winter Park is also available from Barnes & Noble.
