Boca Raton: Stulecie Ikony

My grandparents used to winter in Florida, so the 1926 founding chapter hit close to home. The archival photos are gorgeous — I spent a whole evening just on the spread showing the original clubhouse. A century of history in one book, and it doesn't feel like a glossy ad.

I picked this up before a weekend stay and ended up reading the whole century span in two sittings. The chapters on the 1926 founding and the resort's reinvention over the decades are genuinely well written, not just glossy filler.

The archival photos from the 1926 founding era are genuinely stunning, and the paper quality makes them pop. I've flipped through the history sections twice already and keep finding details about the resort's early style I never knew.
