Summary: More Than a Tour
Comment: As a Seaside neighbor in Old Seagrove I have a special interest in Seaside, but I found the book to be much more than the chance to get inside houses of people I know and others I see every day. While the writing in the style of architectural magazines might be called "gushing," Eleanor Lynn Nesmith subtly focuses her seasoned critical eye on the people who brought more than their money to the "New Urbanism" community. The result is the story of how Seaside got its soul. The somewhat dark--almost broody--photos of Steven Brooke suited my taste, though maybe not everyone's.
Rating: 5
Summary: An Inside View
Comment: The new Seaside Style book through the pictures of Steven Brooke and the words of Eleanor Lynn Nesmith takes us on a tour inside some of the homes of Seaside. A small town along the Gulf Coast of Florida, Seaside gained world fame as the birthplace of New Urbanism.
With humor and insight, the author walks us through 23 houses and gives us a glimpse of both the homeowners and their personal style.
The photographer takes us there with his stunning images.
A must buy for anyone with an interest in New Urbanisn or viewing the individual styles and the pleasures of living at the beach.

Summary: huge disappointment
Comment: I recommend the far less expensive book Essence of Seashore: Beautiful Inspirations for the Home by Andrea Spencer. For $10 and change it beats this volume by all standards.
Though the photographs by Brooke are passable, the pretensions and fawning comments by and about the wealthy Seaside homeowners were hard to take. The photos and text give anyone seeking interior design insights little or nothing.
The only purchasers for this waste of time are the owners so they can impress their family and acquaintances. Unfortuinately the author has them coming across as such an elitist bunch with unmet needs. It is hard to understand why this wasn't released by a vanity press publisher instead of a reputable firm like Rizzoli.
