New Georgia Guide

“A clear-eyed look at the state we love.”
— The Honarable Zell Miller, Governor, State of Georgia

“The New Georgia Guide is a yarn-spinning, gallus-snapping, barbecue-sniffing, language-loving, gator-wrestling, backroad exploring travel companion. Part history, part folklore, part recipe book, part yellow pages, there will be few Georgia natives who aren't educated or amused by some portion of it, and outsiders will find here a road map not only to the county seats but to the soul of Georgia.”
— Melissa Fay Greene, author of Praying for Sheetrock

In 1996, the University of Georgia published The New Georgia Guide, a project of the Georgia Humanities Council. The Guide is an 800 page book that features essays on the history and culture of Georgia. Developed in the spirit of the WPA guides to cities and towns from the 1940s, The New Georgia Guide provides an updated look at the peoples and places that make Georgia the special place that it is.

The New Georgia Guide can be purchased from the University of Georgia Press by calling 800-BOOKUGA. The price is $39.95 for cloth-cover, or $19.95 for paperback.
