It's a funny read for all of us northern transplants and even includes a full chapter on his visit to The Villages last Christmas season. He describes his experience at all 3 town squares and the bands he saw...Paul Vesco, Scooter, and Caribbean Chillers and even gives high marks to Pat Atkinson at The Waterfront (that's for you KathieI). It was a humorous and reasonably accurate take on TV.
He also recounts his visits to Key West, Cassadega, Tarpon Springs, Gatorland, and a few other Florida points of interest.
Sumter Library has several copies of the book.
Fun reading.

I finally got around to starting the book. I read the first chapter and then skipped ahead to the chapter on The Villages. I agree with you, V '07 -- fun and a pretty accurate first impression.
I will finish the book later, but just had to skip ahead to see what he had to say about TV.
