It was high time for a new book about Savannah's timeless squares:  
Savannah Square by Square!

Savannah-aIn 1733, Georgia's founder James Oglethorpe laid out a new kind of city in the midst of a virgin forest. The unique city plan Oglethorpe created-- a repeating pattern of squares encircled by homes and public buildings-- has provided a template for close to three centuries of growth. Oglethorpe's four original squares have grown to 22 historic squares, each with its own unique character and charm.

Now a team of five creative Savannahians has come together to create Savannah Square by Square, a visually stunning coffee table book that combines beautiful photographs of the squares with lively, historically accurate stories about these unique Savannah treasures. Artfully rendered pen and ink drawings complete the picture.

We are delighted to have teamed with Historic Savannah Foundation to publish four editions of this new classic since December 2015. President and CEO of Historic Savannah Foundation, Daniel Carey, says: "Too often we think that just because a subject has been written about—even several times—that the subject is dead.  Well, that’s
hardly the case with Savannah Square by Square.  This new book by Mick McCay and Michael Jordan is a refreshing and respectable guide to Savannah’s most treasured resource — the Oglethorpe Plan and its famous squares.  Outstanding photography is coupled with thoughtful commentary, and this can only help deepen the appreciation of Savannah for both visitors and residents.  We need more such books about Savannah that ask a bit more of the reader in terms of how they understand, enjoy and respect the unique resource it is." 

Savannah Square by Square is available directly from Historic Savannah Foundation or from many Savannah-area bookstores and gift shops.
