Chock
full of photographs and interesting tidbits not found in history books,
this easy-to-read coffee table book takes you on a leisurely stroll
through Miami's past and offers delightful insights into the people
who put the "Magic" in the Magic City.
Rub shoulders with Andrew Carnegie, Louis Comfort Tiffany and John D.
Rockerfeller. Mix it up with Al Capone, Lucky Luciano and Meyer Lansky.
Soar with Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes and Charles Lindbergh, and find
out why Presidents, royalty and the world's biggest sports stars and
entertainers have all gotten sand in their shoes and made South Florida
their home.
What
People are Saying:
"It
is a wonderful, informative book and worthy of repeated praise and thanks."

enjoy." -Katherine W. Ezell, Attorney with Podhust, Orseck

source of information about Miami Beach." -Larry A. Silverstein,

-Kelly Mack, The Sunshine Group, Ltd.
"We...enjoyed it very much. It was informative, very interesting,
and very well written. Unlike other similar books that go on and on,
it was to the point and each section carefully followed the previous
one. In short order, we were able to track the history of Miami Beach
through the people who made it..." -Barry L. Meadow, Attorney
with Podhurst Orseck
"...its pick-me-up/put-me-down nature allowed me to thoroughly
devour same and I found it not only comprehensive but entirely accessible.
I also learned how much that I didn't know about my home!"
-Al Alschuler, Author
"What a great book! The research and historical perspective
are amazing and the colorful cast of characters is fascinating."
-Steve Rushmore, HVS International
"Terrific:...I read it last night and it triggered a lot
of memories on both sides of the Bay..." -Stuart Blumberg,
President/CEO Greater Miami and the Beaches Hotel Association
We've
had such a wonderful response to this book that we are writing a second
book, "More Sand in Their Shoes" that will focus more on current
local talent.
