Summary: Great read for someone relocating to NC
Comment: Good intro to the state -- details relating to history and facts that are useful to the job hunter or the retiree. If you are planning on making this state "home" for a while, this is the book to help you make some decisions on where to live and where you'll want to visit. Bill Lee did a thorough job revealing the most useful and interesting information for the reader.

Summary: Is it Safe for Yanquis in North Carolina?!
Comment: I was born in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, New Yawk and my husband is from the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginny. He wants to move closer to home and I'm a life-long NY Metropolitanite who travels frequently. Seriously, I'm considering NC (not decided yet!) and I found this book very helpful in terms of what to expect, what's what in terms of the terrain and life style. I think this would be a good compromise for the Country Boy and City Slicker.

Summary: not a very welcoming book
Comment: when i was reading this book it was very territorial. god forbid a "yankee" or whatever you call it comes and moves down to north carolina. or if your having a bad day and your new to the community, you need to let the community know so that they know to stay away from you. this book is worthless. my advice dont live near the author cause hes going to be in your business

Summary: Exactly what I was looking for
Comment: We just moved to NC and I wanted a book "to get my feet wet" this is exactly what I was looking for. Lots of misc facts and history. I felt like I had a better feeling for the place when I got here than I am sure I would have without.

Summary: Great book for people who know nothing about North Carolina!
Comment: This book is a great introductory read for those wanting to know more about North Carolina(especially if you are moving there). It has everything from a history, to the state government, to pop cluture and stories of the state, to even DMV information. I'm leaving a lot out, but you get the picture. The only problem I have with this book is that there is only one map in the entire book. It is of the whole state, but only has nine cities on it. You will want an atlas to go with the book to see where some of the places he mentions are. Other than that a great book and I definately recommend it.
