Gallery of our Book Covers Current Edition "Along I-75, 21st edition" "Along Florida's Expressways, 4th edition" We are so proud that VISIT FLORIDA, the Sunshine State's official tourism authority, has endorsed this book as the one it uses in its Welcome Centers. Sorry, but this edition is completely sold out. Due to financial restraints imposed on us by the Pandemic, we do not plan to update or re-issue it until the Fall of 2025. Starting with our first (1992) edition, here are the covers of our books over the years. 1992 The "upside-down" book with two front covers. Our first edition, now worth US$155 on the First Edition collectors market. 1993-1994 We changed the metal spiral binding to plastic. 1995 The last of the "upside-down" books. 1996 Completely redesigned - this book won the prestigious "Excellence in Design" award. 1997 We won Writers Digest "Certificate of Merit" with this one. 1998 Another great year helping our I-75 traveler friends. 1999 The first of the textured cover books. 2000 The year Georgia decided to change all their exit numbers. This book included both old and new numbers on our maps. 9th (2001) To ensure a major book chain catalogued our book correctly, we had to remove the year from the front cover - this one became known as our "9th" edition. 10th (2002) Edition The first of our "themed" covers - the 25th anniversary of the completion of I-75. 11th (2003) Edition Dedicated to the Wright Brothers of Dayton, Ohio. 12th (2004) Edition Dedicated to the 200th Anniversary of Steam Locomotion. 13th (2005/6) Edition Dedicated to the 100th Anniversary of the publication of Mrs. Mileva Marity-Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity. Florida - 1st (2006) Edition Our First edition of "Along Florida's Expressways. Personally requested by Florida's Governor Bush because so many Floridians used "Along I-75" to evacuate ahead of Hurricane Charley in 2004. Jeb wanted a Florida freeway evacuation guide . . . so we delivered. 14th (2007) Edition Dedicated to the 100th Anniversary of 400th Anniversary of the founding of Jamestown - the first permanent European settlement in North America. How could a historian ignore such an occasion? Florida - 2nd (2008) Edition "Along Florida's Expressways" - completely re-designed to better match the needs of driving tourists. After driving around Florida on a vacation, I didn't like the first edition which was rushed into production to help with hurricane evacuation - so I re-designed it! 15th (2008) Edition Dedicated to the 2010 Alltech AFE World Equestrian Games, held in Lexington, Kentucky. 3rd (2009) Edition The 3rd edition of "Along Florida's Expressways" just gets better and better. As the state's population grows, the services available at various exits, expand . . . and so does the book. 16th (2010) Edition Dedicated to the Centenary of Carl Fisher's first Indianapolis 500-Mile Race. 17th (2012) Edition Dedicated to the 200th Anniversary of the War of 1812. 18th (2014) Edition Dedicated to the very first long distance drive, made by Bertha Benz in 1888. 4th (2015) Edition New toll routes and toll route charging systems make this an important update. 19th (2017) Edition Honoring the 100th Anniversary of the National Parks Service. 20th (2019) Edition Remember when life was simple.
