The courthouses of Georgia's 159 counties hold the keys to the history of individual families and entire communities alike. From their primary role as the temples of justice for our court system to their better-known function as the official repository of public records for significant life events, these buildings anchor many of Georgia's town squares.
In "Courthouses of Georgia," internationally recognized photographer Greg Newington captures the prominence and character of these great structures. His images pay tribute to the community's investment in preserving historic courthouses for future generations and celebrate new facilities designed to accommodate expanded county programs and services, keeping pace with the state's tremendous growth.
"Courthouses of Georgia" commemorates the centennial anniversary of Association County Commissioners of Georgia (ACCG), Georgia's county government association. In his introduction to this lavishly illustrated book, former Georgia House of Representatives majority leader Larry Walker shares memories of county courthouses by legislators, authors, judges, and other notable state figures, and historian George Justice highlights the proud civic and architectural heritage of each structure to provide additional context. Organized by the nine travel regions of Georgia, the book offers the perfect starting point for touring any of Georgia's counties and instills an appreciation for historic preservation.

Jen is married to Fred and has three children she doesn't really like; she works from inside a cupboard with a girl with orange hair and a rather rotund lady who clacks when she eats. Her mother has fallen in love with an Alan Carr look-alike and she has a mother in law who likes to move her furniture whenever she gets the chance. Jen likes to kid herself that she is thinner than Blanche but knows she will never be as attractive as Eileen. Jen, Eileen and Blanche spend a lot of time together. They have known each other for that long that they can be honest to the point of being rude without falling out. They have lots of laughs - usually at other peoples' expense. Blanche is addicted to cleaning. She got drunk and Jen and Eileen gave her a Brazilian wax. She likes to think she has smaller bingo-wings than Jen. Her husband has twins she knows nothing about. Eileen is gorgeous, works in a chemist and has a wonderful husband. She also has problems with her breasts and with her bowel movements. Her mother in law used her vibrator whilst caring for the school pet. Jen will share with you how she avoids sex with Fred and how she laughs when their cat has a pee in his shoes. She will tell you all about Betty and her "Sad Club" and how her lesbian boss asks her all sorts of weird and wonderful questions about her sex life. It has a fast pace, it's full of cheeky fun and sexual innuendos and there are tears shed throughout, some in laughter, some sadly not.
