Reliable and trustworthy - as ever
Having used Rough Guides for european trips previously, I was happy to invest and rely on the Florida Guide and, althoug it's not as up-to-date as it might be, it is comprehensive - dealing equally with the obvious tourist haunts (Disney etc.) and the more local and esoteric. The references to the wildlife refuges and state parks were helpful. In short, a good bet.

Good book
I like this book but you can so easily burn up your luggage allowance with travel books, its one to read before you travel but I did not use it that much when I was there, if I was doing a tour around florida it would be of more benefit rather than just staying in Orlando as the sections devoted to each place are quite small. Nice photographs.
