Summary: Just what I needed
Comment: When we opted to relocate to NC, we decided to purchase this book. I learned everything I could want to know about NC, all in an easy to read book!

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.
