This book is about select hotels in Florida. The author has toured
more than 50 hotels in Orlando, FL alone and a number of other
hotels in select Florida cities. It takes a great deal of time to
tour hotels, but Tosca enjoyed touring the hotels and has enjoyed
writing a book about his remarkable tours. He would also regularly
call the hotels to keep his information up to date. Frankly, that
ate up a lot of minutes on 2 cell phones. This book goes into great
details about the hotels, which would be very beneficial to
travelers and travel professionals.

"Life at the Top: Inside New York's Grand Hotels," a celebrity
biography of some of New York's grandest and most romantic hotels,
contains dozens of original stories about famous literary, theater
and movie personalities. Author Ward Morehouse III, a columnist for
AM New York, former columnist for the New York Sun and the New York
Post and a staff correspondent for 10 years for the Christian
Science Monitor, briefly chronicles the lives of many of the 20th
Century's literary and artistic giants who lived at the Plaza,
Waldorf-Astoria, Algonquin, St. Regis, Carlyle, Chelsea and many
other hotels. Morehouse paints a unique portrait of their
glamorous, exciting, touching and sometimes tragic lives in the
golden era of New York hotels and theater, bringing the two worlds
together in a work that reads like great fiction. He reconfirms his
status as a superb chronicler of Americana as well as one of our
most engaging storytellers.

SPECIAL REPRINT EDITION: Blue Guide Northern Italy 2005, OF WHICH

focusing on the artists who lived there and the patrons who gave
them commissions.
No evidence is available to establish the actual date when the
Tabard was built; Stow speaks of it as among the "most ancient" of
the locality; but the nearest approach to definite dating assigns
the inn to the early fourteenth century. One antiquary indeed fixes
the earliest distinct record of the site of the inn in 1304, soon
after which the Abbot of Hyde, whose abbey was in the neighbourhood
of Winchester, here built himself a town mansion and probably at
the same time a hostelry for travellers. Three years later the
Abbot secured a license to erect a chapel close by the inn. It
seems likely, then, that the Tabard had its origin as an adjunct of
the town house of a Hampshire ecclesiastic.
1914. Critical notes on the Rijks Museum, the Hague Museum, Hals
Museum. Van Dyke, with his belief that the enjoyment of beauty is
one of the highest aims of human existence, attempts to deliver a
guidebook that speaks about the man behind the paintbrush; deals
with pictures from the painter's point of view, rather than that of
the ecclesiastic, the archaeologist, or the literary romancer; has
some proportion in the selection and criticism of pictures; with a
critical basis for discrimination between the good and the bad; and
that shall, for these reasons be of service to the traveling public
as well as to the art student. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.

This informative and entertaining book captures the atmosphere and
essence of caravanning and motoring in the 1970s. In an era of high
oil prices, industrial unrest and when the shine of the 1960s
seemed to be fading, caravanning was an ideal solution for those
who chose to holiday in the UK and abroad without breaking the
bank. Drawing on his unique knowledge of caravans, Andrew Jenkinson
not only describes the typical caravan holiday of the 1970s, he
also includes fascinating detail about the different types and
makes of caravan, including Swift and others, as well as the
bestselling cars that towed them - from the Sunbeam Rapier to the
Ford Capri. The book also discusses essential 1970s caravanning
equipment, including portable TVs, stereo tape players, push-button
radios, barbeques and portable fridges. The author shows how
comparatively easy caravanning was in the 1970s compared with the
present, including ease of access to the countryside and even the
beach. Caravan sites also developed to provide ever more lavish
facilities. Accompanied by period photographs of both 1970s
caravans and cars, and drawing on the author's unrivalled
expertise, this book is an informative and enjoyable guide to
caravanning in the 1970s.
