In The Spirit Of Miami Beach
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

What Venice was to the world during the Renaissance era, so Miami is to the world today. An active melting pot of cultures; where Art Deco contends with Spanish Baroque; where artists mingle with athletes, models, and socialites; where South Americans and Eastern Europeans sit together for espressos on Ocean Drive.This book explores Miami Beach style, from the mythical Lincoln Road to Art Basel Miami, one of the leading international art fairs. With an in-depth look at its historical past as well as its present-day glamour, In The Spirit of Miami Beach elegantly captures the city's vibrant personality and cultural jubilance. With an exuberant text by noted author, entertainer, and bon vivant David Leddick, this rich volume brings one of the world's hottest destinations to colorful life. The book concludes with a selective guide on the hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and spas to experience "stylish Miami".

Many books have been written about Miami Beach (and more lately, South Beach).But none has the wit and verve exhibited in this book by David Leddick, who makes his primary home on South Beach, so he knows what he's talking about.But even forgetting the crisp writing, get this book for so many previously unseen photographs. I pored over it for hours.Five Stars!

This book has great pictures but that's about it.The writing portion of this book is very thin.I would pass on it.

great Book by David Leddick ! a gift for Miami Lovers with Info and History of Miami- Thank You David Leddick

The book is ok, not on how Miami Beach is like today

Great insight into the history of this great city. David Leddick is a terrific writier and he knows the city well.
