Books by John H MacLean

While there are many books on Savannah and its architecture, not many tell what actually happened in and around these buildings and squares. John Maclean''s latest tour guide serves to fill that gap. You can read it before you tour the city, carry it with you on your stroll or read as you sit on a bench. Close your eyes, listen to the sounds, picture the events being told. Then open your eyes and see Savannah''s historical layers like fallen leaves, softly laying on each other.
