Product Description
What Venice was to the world at the Renaissance period, so Miami is to the world today. An active melting pot of cultures, where Art Deco rivals 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 the 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 a jubiliant text by the noted author, entertainer, and bon vivant David Leddick, this rich volume brings one of the world's hottest destinations to colorful life. The book ends with a selective guide on all the hotels, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, spas, which are to discover for a "stylish Miami."

EXCELLENT BOOK on Miami Beach July 5, 2010
Andrew Delaplaine (Miami Beach)
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!
